User question
Hello.
I used to have Windows 7, but then in the corner of the screen, next to the clock, a notification appeared to update it to Windows 10. Of course, after the update, my picture from the welcome screen just disappeared ...
How can I now change the picture on the welcome (lock) screen, i.e. of the same eye where the password is entered?
Good day!
In general, I would like to note that in the latest versions of Windows 10, you can now change the picture on the welcome screen without any third-party utilities and programs (for which a separate merci for developers, because this has never happened before, as far as I remember 👍). Moreover, you can choose not only a specific photo, but also put a slideshow!
Below I'll show you how it's done ...

Lock screen customization
👉 STEP 1
First you need to open Windows options. This can be done through the START menu (see the screenshot below 👇), or just press the combination of buttons Win + i.
Parameters
Then open the section "Personalization" .

👉 STEP 2
Then go to the subsection "Lock screen" (it's in the menu on the left), and in the tab "Background" change version "Windows: Interesting" on the "Photo" or "Slide show" (this is if you want to display more than one picture on the welcome screen, but several).
In my example below I will show you how to set one specific picture (that is, I choose the "Photo" 👇).

👉 STEP 3
Once you are in the tab "Background" install "Photo" you can specify a specific picture for the lock screen (welcome): either select one of the default Windows suggested, or load your own from the hard drive.

👉 STEP 4
Further in the same subsection ( "Lock screen" ), just below, I recommend disabling the display of jokes and facts, and enabling the option "Show lock screen wallpaper on login screen" .
Actually, after that, that's all that had to be done!

👉 STEP 5
To check what the installed background looks like, it is not necessary to restart the computer (laptop), just press the key combination Win + L (see example below 👇, the lock screen is now with the selected landscape).

It's so easy to change the background of the lock screen, no extra. There is no need to use utilities for modern Windows 10.

PS
By the way, there was no such option in the first versions of Windows 10. I had to resort to various tweakers, for example, Tweaks.com Logon Changer (this application will quickly and easily put your selected picture on your hard drive on the welcome screen).
This tweaker can also be recommended for those who are unable to change the background through the system parameters ...
