    First run I get this error. It would be great if your program created the backup for me.

    System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Windows\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon\Windows.UI.Logon.pri.bak'.

    It does... That error shouldn't technically have happened.

    I'm off for tonight, see you in the morn!

    with the first version of the script in this forum if you dont specify a valid picture it will default back to a solid colour. mileage may vary

    What I did to get around that is copy my old Windows.UI.Logon.pri to that folder and renamed it Windows.UI.Logon.pr.bak Hope this helps :)

    Thank you very much for the app, Krutonium!

    Would you mind sharing the background that is shown in the first post's screenshot ? Looks very cool.

    My AV keeps flagging Krutonium Windows 10 Login Background Changer.exe as a virus and deletes it immediately. I'm not comfortable running a self .exe, is there any way to manually change the image.

    Invoke takeown commands on the system file and folder and use alexwilsons pastebin script

    The program is harmless though dude

    "ENT" When I ran it ..it gave an error saying it could not find "*pri.bak". Not sure if it HAD to have it so I just copied the org and named it that and then it worked flawless.

    It seems somewhere in my code I am copying the backup for use before I make the initial backup. Once I have windows all happy again I'll be fixing this.

    Very simple. Go to C:\program Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures, and take ownership of image : ''user-192'' and rename it, delete it or place it someplace else.

    Hold up. He's fixing the issue

    For now go ahead and go to the location of the file and rename the extension to .pri.bak
