Build 21277 is out as an Optional Update

Edited to remove a blocked poster and deleted post.

The disable in the policy is referred to the clear background...see the policy explanation below:

By default the policy "Show clear logon background" is not configured so you get the blur effect.

Again to confuse the "Russians": 😎 

The disable wording used in the Registry is for the opposite effect "DisableAcrylicBackgroundOnLogon"

Believe you are correct. Seems to be the MS way, all or nothing. Similar to the blurry login issue that they still will not deal with properly. (gpedit on pro, registry edit for home).

Hey Johnny, Pauli says the same thing about the blur effect and I have Home edition on 3 laptops and I have never had to do a regedit to not have the blur effect at log in. I just turn off Transparency in Settings Personalization. I realize this means I have no blur or Transparency effect anywhere but I don't care for the effect anyway.

Hi Hawkeyes,

Sorry for delay in seeing this. Yes, we are aware of what you are doing to eliminate blur. If this works for you, Great. I prefer to keep transparency effect.

I use gpedit on all my Pro versions, and have created a registry file for any Home versions. Simple click and load  :-)

Pauli and I's point is that MS should not be forcing their cool ideas (in their mind) on everyone, without an option to disable in Settings. This is the least MS should do.

Doing a clean install these days is similar to buying a new laptop. One spends a lot of time, turning off or deleting, uninstalling all the crapware MS forces on users.

Perhaps I should thank MS for this, made a lot of cash from customers requesting this and that being removed from the OS. They had no need for all that junk. Why still does someone have to use PowerShell to remove certain forced Apps.

Some users prefer real Professional Programs to do whatever, eg, PhotoShop, Autocad, not these limited wannabe Apps cluttering the system, in a version MS calls Professional.

Have a great weekend Insiders!

My desktop background was changed to a solid color.

How it got there but my background photo is one of the pictures for the Lock Screen.

Is there a way to move it back to the Background pictures where I can use it?

I have it saved on a USB stick if I need to get it.

Move the picture from the USB stick and put it in pictures.

Hi MDS_,

If you don't like a feature post at the FBH and voice your opinion, if enough people think the same MS might change it.
