    C:\Windows\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon and all underlying files/folders need to be editable by Admin or Lower.

    My existing code:

    Code:
    ICACLS %windir%\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon /grant Everyone:(OI)(CI)F

takeown /f %windir%\systemresources\windows.ui.logon\*

exit

    No no no. Backwards. Takeown first, then grant permissions. Try this, made some required edits....

    R command - recurses takeown.

    Added \* to recurse the icacls.

    "Everyone" is spelled differently in other languages, likely a cause of some failures. Changed to language independent Well Known Sid of the Admin (S-1-5-32-544). Should work even on non-english machines now.


    Code:
    takeown /f %windir%\systemresources\windows.ui.logon /r

ICACLS %windir%\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon\* /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F

    Small change - icacls needed on the folder too. Uses /T to recurse while catching the folder.

    Code:
    takeown /f %windir%\systemresources\windows.ui.logon /r

ICACLS %windir%\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon  /T /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F

    I mean, it worked on a fresh install of 10, but I need more confirmations.

    In any case, try the latest version and see if it works for you.
