Change is good. It’s one way to keep what you always look at fresh. But it seems many users are still unware that they can change Windows 10 login screen background image.

The user image on the login or logon screen now uses circular shaped user profile image instead of square one. In addition, the login screen background uses an image instead of solid color, unlike in previous version. The Windows 10 login screen background is quite similar to the default desktop background. As you likely know, you are not able to set a picture as login screen background in previous versions.

Changing the login background may be easier than you think, and it will take only a few minutes. Here is how it is done:
