Every time you start Windows 10, you’ll be greeted with a lock screen. Once you click or swipe away the lock screen, you’ll get to the login screen where you have to select a user and enter password before accessing the desktop. It’s very easy to change the lock screen background, but Microsoft doesn’t provide an official setting to change the login screen background with a custom image in Windows 10.
To change the background image for Windows 10 login screen, we need to use some sort of third-party script or utility. The best tool we found is Windows 10 Login Screen Background Changer, which is an open source freeware you can download via GitHub.
