Hi, To find the current images you could try the following. If its the login screen for all users check the value for the LockScreenImage reg string in If its the user lockscreen try in powershell and check the path fields

You might be able to just update the driver by pointing it to search the installation folder, that is what we did to get our older boards working with windows 10

This is daft, we are having the same issue and I can not understand Capitas's reasoning for this. The app should allow you to use the recorded by field if it can not populate awarded by in registers. As of right now the Parent App is weak and don't get me started on the lack of reporting

I can't get this working on fresh install of 1803 even with a new file. Could this be down to a windows update?

They show up in the upgrade classification

You can speed up login times in 1607 and previous windows 10 builds by disabling/breaking the systemapps (C:\Windows\SystemApps) that get installed on first logon. For example renaming the folder Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI_cw5n1h2txyewy to DISABLED_Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI_cw5n1h2txyewy. If you do this check your build afterwards to make sure that everything you need still works. Also if you do this to the Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy folder you will have no search on the start menu (not an issue if you're using classic shell) and if you're using 1703 your start menu will be unresponsive.

Hi ITGURU You will want to use autohotkey as there is no group policy setting for this. Install autohotkey on an admin machine Create a .ahk script in notepad with the following. ; Disable Windows Key + Tab #Tab::Return Run the compiler C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Compiler\Ahk2Exe.exe Select the script, choose a destination for the exe and click convert You now have an exe you can put in a logon script or in the startup folder.

Hi I would recommend using 1703 as a base for windows 10. It will allow you to lock down the pages in the settings app rather than having to block the whole app. It also has some useful group policies for Edge. There is an issue with setting the lockscreen background but as its only cosmetic I wouldn't worry to much and a fix should be released in the next Cumulative update - https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/kimberj/2017/05/05/known-lock-screen-issues-1703 Ive also found login times to be quicker for all users (after I've logged in the admin user once) than in previous builds. As Timbo343 says host the v6 mandatory profile on a network share if possible. If its small the logon times shouldn't be affected greatly. Steps to creating a v6 Mandatory Profile - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mandatory-user-profile Definatly use MDT to create and capture the image, its just easier in my opinion. Then use sccm to deploy. The steps provided by Johan Arwidmark are nice and easy to follow - Deployment Research > Research To delete user profiles you will probably want to use the gpo and Delprof 2 in a shutdown script - https://helgeklein.com/free-tools/delprof2-user-profile-deletion-tool/ Hope that helps

Have you tried deleting them out of the all users start menu C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs I could be wrong but I think the start menu in Windows 10 links to them here too.

Hi this is how we use UE-V if it helps to clarify. Our staff accounts in AD have the profile path empty. When they logon windows creates them local profile using the default profile as a base template, then adding the settings set by the gpos assigned to them. The home folder path is to their folder on the server. We use 1607 which has UE-V baked in By default UE-V stores user data in the home folder set in AD In Group Policy under user configuration/policies/administrative templates/windows components/microsoft user experience virtualization we have 'Use User Experience Virtualization (UE-V)' enabled and 'Configure Sync Method' enabled and set to None

Not sure if that is possible, don't forget to remove the options from the 'right click on start button' menu which is located in the users profile \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX

Hi I got the same error, I don't think you can do this if logged on with a user that has a redirected menu. I had to logon as a local user and create it that way

Do the Registry settings for those GPOs not work in Pro either? Force a specific default lock screen and logon image REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization" /v LockScreenImage /t REG_SZ /d c:\locationtofile\image.bmp /f Apply the default account picture to all users REG add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v UseDefaultTile /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Desktop specifically an Optiplex 380 with 4 GB of RAM

With an ssd around the 15-20 second mark on first login, with a mechanical around 40 seconds. One thing I've done is disable the systemapps (which can't be uninstalled) in C:\Windows\SystemApps from installing by renaming the folders. I found that even if you disable cortana in a gpo it still installs the app and this adds up to 30 seconds to the logon time, also the start menu takes ages to respond. However be aware that this will break search on the startmenu.
