    When I'm editing the .pri file permissions, I cannot add any user to take full control because the buttons are greyed out. I've tried enabling the hidden Administrator account with the same outcome. Any ideas?

    Try to do the same but then with the folder only (C:\Windows\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon)

    You didn't use the takeown commands or set ACLS permissions on the file and directory
    You need to do that before you can effectively change the owner to your account

    Fair enough. I've looked for that info in the OP and it's not there. Care to point me in the right direction to know how to do that?
    Thanks ;)

    That means something happened in your powershell...

    It's probably a good idea to show in that error message what Powershell wrote to stderr and stdout. Would make debugging a lot easier.

    Custom Windows.UI.Logon.pri Request

    Thanks for your continued development on this lacking feature! Unfortunately I am still getting the "severe error" despite following all the suggestions posted here and trying many other things myself. Would anybody care to share a custom Windows.UI.Logon.pri with just the solid blue background located at C:\Windows\Web\Screen\img105.pri? A plain background like that is all many users including myself want.

    Thanks!

    Here you go.
    link removed
    Just delete the Windows.UI.Logon.pri (make sure you always make a backup), located in the map C:\Windows\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon and move the one i gave you to the same location.
    Lock your screen and enjoy! :biggrin:

    https link removed.. Have send you a PM.

    A no go - does not take ownership so can't continue on with a change. Interestingly, there is an addition to the permissions groups - All Application Packages as of the last security update included as read only type.

    Have you tried to manual get ownership of Windows.UI.Logon?
