I also get the Object Reference not set error and had to kill the task. The account picture disappears in the open GUI before it hangs. When restarted, the open GUI doesn't show the account image, but the actual login screen still shows the account picture. This was a clean Win 10 Pro RTM install.
I put back the original .pri file so I can now sign out and of course have the ugly graphic. Also, just magically I am now able to use the switch user feature in Start10--possibly a fix in Start10 version 1.00--even with the changer applied. It'd be great if the sign out worked with the changer applied. Possible?
Can you open regedit and post a screen shot of: Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users\your sid\values ? Also can you post a screenshot of the contents of: Code: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\? or C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Default Account Pictures\? AppData\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures\? C:\Users\Public\Public Account Pictures\your sid\? Thanks EDIT: Code: - Changelog 0.0.1.6: Updated User Account Picture Enable-Disable Updated Color Selector Bug fixes Link on first page.
No change in latest version. BTW this may be a dumb question, but what is 'Disable Login Image' supposed to do? I see no difference whether it is checked or unchecked. Also, when using Revert and Apply to Desktop is not checked, my custom background still gets overlayed with the revert image. No entries listed under Users from subject reg entry above.

Hello, I'd like to thank Alphawaves for releasing this tool and keeping it updated! With that said, I'm curious if anyone knows a way to fix the lock screen issue? It seems get skipped over and goes straight to login screen. Thanks in advance!
Enable Lockscreen: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization] "NoLockScreen"=dword:00000000 or "NoLockScreen"=- Disable Lockscreen: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization] "NoLockScreen"=dword:00000001 Make sure your system is upto date with windows updates and latest graphics drivers before using Windows 10 Login Lockscreen Image Changer options
Sorry to just be a lurker seeking tech support... but can anyone help me get my lock screen back? Whether I enable or disable lockscreen using this app, I get a plain black screen with a cursor. I can progress beyond it with ctrl+alt+del so it's not a priority issue but just a bit annoying. I can change the login screen image perfectly with the software (thanks! ) Changing the .pri back does not fix the black screen. I tried both before and after installing a recent windows update (KB3081438) I'm on a windows server network at work so I think I get a slightly different lock/login process to a standard user. Thanks
Hi shorty2240, did you use 'Apply to lockscreen' when applying to Login screen or just diabled lockscreen. What OS and architecture ? Can you post a screenshot, contents of: Code: C:\Windows\Web\Screen\ Thanks..

Tried both options, either way I get a blank, black lockscreen. Win 10 Pro x64 upgraded from Win 7. i5 4670k on Z87X-D3H with a budget AMD card. Sorry, can't post links or images yet - i.imgur.com/BWhBOM5.gif I just tried disabling onboard graphics chip as I remember having an issue previously where Win 10 tried to show a message on a third, non-existent display, but no change. Even restoring the original .pri isn't bringing it back now. Thanks
