[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 417318, member: 2291"] Actually the background image which is shown on Windows 10 Login Screen is stored in a system file "[B]Windows.UI.Logon.pri[/B]" present in "[B]C:\Windows\SystemResources\Windows.UI.Logon\[/B]" folder. You might be wondering what kind of this .PRI file is? PRI stands for "Package Resource Index" and this PRI file contains the Hero background image of Login Screen in different resolution sizes. But you can't directly modify this file. You need to first extract the background images from this PRI file using a working tool. Windows 8/8.1/10 SDK contains such kind of tools to modify PRI files. But its a very complicated task and a very small mistake in editing this file may cause your system broken and you'll not be able to log into Windows. Fortunately there is a freeware available which automatically performs the same task and allows you to change or remove background image from Windows 10 Login Screen.
