Change Login Screen in Windows 10

We have options between setting a custom image as a background or a solid color instead of the default image. There are different ways to do this and let us list them one by one under a separate heading.

Change Login screen background to a solid color

This was possible in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 by default but in Windows 10 this needs a small registry tweak. To make the registry changes, follow the below mentioned steps.
  • Press Windows button + R simultaneously and this will open the Run dialogue.
  • Type in regedit and press ENTER.
  • This start the Windows Registry Editor.
  • Browse to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System”.
  • Create a new DWORD value named “DisableLogonBackgroundImage” with a value of “00000001”.
  • This will change the color of the login screen to the same color as your current Windows 10 accent.
  • To change the color go to Settings > Colors > Choose the color.
  • Sadly, you can’t mix the colors to create a custom color by default but you can do that with the hidden control panel.
  • Press Windows button + R again and enter the following command.
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,Advanced,@Advanced
  • This will open the standard Windows color mixer and you will be able to choose a custom color accent.

Change Login screen to a custom image

There is no registry hack to change the default login screen image but you can use third party tools to do this. Keep in mind that this makes changes in core Windows system files so do this at your own risk. 
  • Head over to this link at the MDL Forums.
  • Now download the Windows 10 Login Changer and open it.
  • Just click inside the Window anywhere and choose an image that you want to set as your login background.
  • You can easily pick a custom image that is already existing on your PC or you can even download and choose the image.
  • You can open the Advanced tab to reveal more options like choosing from the color palette.
  • It is recommended that you Create a system restore point before applying the changes just in case you run into some problems. It will be easy to restore it back.
