Windows 10 Login Screen Background Changer! [Uploaded to GitHub!]

I'm in the same situation.

 

Okay maybe I take plunge

But what do we replace in the script
I see outputpath and replacement path

Are those the ones we change.

 

Yes, thought that was obvious. outputPath is the location where the new pri file gets stored and replacementPath is the path to your new logon image. After running the script you will need to replace the pri file in the system directory with the new file.

For that one try commenting it out on line 15 like this

# 1280x1024 10


Then change the number on line 4 to 10

 

Anyone can give instructions on how to use the script. as he ran but the background is not changed by placing one in the same folder. help.

 

Hi all.

I'll give heavy detailed instructions in the next hour or so...
Stay tuned

 

Okay let's get started

------------------------

1. Start by going to pastebin.
2. Copy the "RAW PASTE DATA" into windows notepad (notepad.exe)
3. Look at $outputpath. The location that it tells you needs to be replaced. It's where the BRAND NEW PRI FILE WILL BE PLACED. You can place it anywhere for now. Relatively on the root of the drive is preferred So e.g (c:\windows.ui.logon_new.pri)
4. Look at $replacemetpath. THIS IS THE JPG THAT WILL REPLACE THE LOCKSCREEN WALLPAPER. IT MUST BE JPG FILE. So simply specify the path to the jpg (eg) c:\img3.jpg
5. Next you need to set the screen resolution.
6. Look at line 4 $blobtoreplace. The numbers are specified for you. So like 3 would be 1366x768. SO REPLACE THE NUMBER ON LINE 4 WITH THE APPROPRIATE SCREEN RESOLUTION #
7. Custom resolutions... Enter your custom resolutions on the line after 2560x1600 LIKE THIS
# 1280x1024 10
8. Go back to $blobtoreplace and enter the screen resolution code that corresponds to your screen resolution. So 1-whatever numbers. The one that matches
9. Once you have finished, save the file exactly like this "CLW_Script.ps1"
It MUST HAVE quotation marks. BTW. CLW_Script is the file name. It can be anything you want just have the quotations along with ps1
10. Execute the script through ELEVATED POWERSHELL ... PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU STORED THE BRAND NEW PRI FILE! You will need it
11. Unfortunately the location of the old pri file is extremely protected by the OS, so we need to unlock it
12. Open elevated cmd.
13 Type the following commands.

Code:

takeown /f \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon & ICACLS \windows\systemresources\windows.ui.logon

14. Do the same for the file windows.ui.logon.pri.
14. Go to \windows\systemresources\ and select the FOLDER windows.ui.logon
Right click and select properties, security, advanced security, and go to the top where it says change owner. Put in your username and click ok. If you get anything about propagation just click cancel. Then go to edit users and put in username. Put FULL PERMISSION. Everything. Read modify etc.
15. Okay awesome. Now go into the folder and you'll see the old pri file. Do the same thing for windows.ui.logon.pri. I said it in step 14.
*****YOU WILL ONLY HAVE TO FOLLOW STEP 14 and 15 ONE TIME
16. Make a copy of the old file just in case
17. Delete the old pri and paste the new one in from the ps1 file we executed earlier
winkey + l to see the changes
Edit: the new one must be exactly like this
windows.ui.logon.pri

BTW. Let me know if you get stuck at any certain point and I'll Help you. Also feel free to pM me if you want as well

It's a lot yes. But I'm going very very detailed for everyone. It actually took me roughly two minutes to replace the file so it's not as hard as it seems

Update 1. I didn't look at the MD5 of my new file and it still worked so don't fret over that

 

What do you mean. Ignore that and paste it in. Don't worry about that

 

I didn't bother checking the md5 of my file and it still worked for me
I don't believe that matters bud

 

Didn't work for me in 10176. everything ran perfectly, no errors, had to make a custom resolution, I replaced the PRI file but still have the default picture.

 

The custom resolution is the issue.
@alexwilson will come back soon to help out but I'm sure you didn't write it correctly in the ps1 file

Tell you what's give me your resolution and I'll send a custom ps1 file your way

 

1280x800
Im just testing it out on this computer my main has a standard resoltuion
