Windows 8.1 Force a specific default lock screen image

Hi,

at the moment we are preparing the win 8.1 rollout in our environment.

Now we tried to customize the lock screen image.

There we are facing the issue that the image does not get correctly resized to different screen resolutions.

Therefore we are using a image with a resolution of 2160x1440 pixels.

Does anybody have an idear how tho fix this ?

Thanks in advanced,

Thomas

Hi,

Based on my test, when user customizing the lock screen picture, system would create a new folder under the following path:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\S-1-5-21-1765481211-944569940-2390947737-1001\ReadOnly\

and create a folder for the new lock screen picture which named in sequence, such as LockScreen_A, B, etc.

In the LockScreen folder, system would generate some series pixels picture for this lock screen picture. However, when you change screen resolution, There might be a problem.

In my opinion, you can try to use a picture which resolutioin same with system default lockscreen picture for test:
