Change login screen in Windows 10
The login screen follows the lock screen. Here you will be asked to enter your password. By default, the background here consists only of the color that you selected as the color scheme.
- You can't change much with Windows on-board tools, but it works with an additional tool.
- Download the program Windows 10 Login Background Changer from the Chip download portal. Then unzip the ZIP file, start the program and accept the conditions.
- Then you see how your logon screen would look with the current settings. On the right you can now decide whether you want to set an image (outlined in red) or just a different color.
- Confirm the process with "Save changes". If you don't like the new look, you can reset it to its old appearance with "Restore default settings".
