    Definitely time for a better AV proggy--nothing is more annoying to me than false positives from an AV program...! I see nothing wrong with Defender--you will be blessedly free of false positives with it, I predict...

    Open elevated CMD


    Code:
    takeown /f \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon\ & ICACLS \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon
    
    Code:
    takeown /f \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon\windows.ui.logon.pri & ICACLS \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon\windows.ui.logon.pri
    Then go to the folder right click, properties, security tab, advanced, click change owner, input your username, click ok, then click add user on the bottom, select yours put full permission, ignore all propagation warnings and click ok

    Do the same for the file

    Oh wait!

    What's your image extension jpg tiff png

    The one that I gave you only accepts jpg

    You have to use latest release in order to use different image extensions

    Please run the script that was posted on pastebin earlier in this thread directly and if it fails tell us the exact error message.

    Yes, set $replacementPath to your logon screen image and $outputPath to a temporary file path where the new pri file gets stored.
