Build 21277 is out as an Optional Update

Hi Bryce,

That jibes with something I said earlier, I think.  At least with the IB, over time there have been times where it was (blurry) & then wasn't.  It's not so much recalling that I had changed something to MAKE it not be blurred, BUT that I recall being surprised & thinking "Oh, that's nice" at the time. It has been both, but not blurred for a long time, now.

As for my 20H2, if I changed something to make IT not blurred, that I don't recall.  It's been focused for so long I honestly don't recall (maybe I did, guess I must have).  It's how I like it so, it's all good 😂😉

Have a great yuletide❗�� and New Year 🤞 

Cheers, Drew

Hi Johnny and Drew,

On my Dev Insider install on H-V the login blur screen is gone which I did not change a setting, so I still have Transparency effects enabled.

My two SP4 still blur though.

Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year as well.

For Windows 10 Pro:

Local Group Policy

Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System, Logon, Show clear Logon Background

Enable or Disable as you prefer :-)

If not configured it behaves like Disabled.

For Win10 Home to disable blur, create a file with notepad, should also work on Pro (not tested on Pro, keep forgetting to double check so end up using gpedit as posted above by fg, does work on Home, tested):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

"DisableAcrylicBackgroundOnLogon"=dword:00000001

Rename to "whatever-you-want.reg" and click on the registry file or set manually with registry editor.

Reboot. That's all folks.

If for some reason you want to enable again, same process for a reg file or manually delete line with registry editor:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

"DisableAcrylicBackgroundOnLogon"=-

Hi Johnny, 

With Windows Pro the registry is set when you enable the policy, they just go together, if you disable the policy or set it to not configured the entry in the registry disappears. With windows Home you don't have the policy editor so you just do it directly in the registry and the result is the same.
