Changing Windows 11 Lock Screen Background

Hello,

I'm throwing a stone into the pond because I don't know what / where to look anymore.

I want to change the lock screen background for the PCs I'm preparing, and I want to do it automatically using a PowerShell script or something similar.

A solution that often comes up is using a local group policy to enforce the background. The problem is that it doesn't work at all; worse, I have no error messages in the logs.

So I'm wondering, is it due to my version of Windows? I'm on Windows PRO.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you

Best regards

      I have no problem putting them in manually; I just want to automate the process.

        Hello,

        Go to the registry key HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization: create a key on the right named LockScreenImage and set its value to the path of the concerned image.

        This can be automated with a PowerShell script as mentioned in this discussion:

        If you're deploying a customized version of Windows on each PC, you'll need to integrate it into a WIM image, which is significantly more complex; search for "Windows image WIM deployment" or something along those lines.
