This effect interferes with pics on screensaver and desktop. tried changing background colours and pics to no avail. Using Windows 10 1511. I found this problem in a thread 1 month agobut cannot find it ago.

Hi Peterei,
Welcome to the Forum.
It's been a while since I took a look at that issue.
If I recall correctly you can add a new value to a sub-key inside your Registry to kill off the background image on the logon page by doing the following:
The next time you restart computer your logon screen should no longer have that background image but just a flat colour instead. If this does not resolve your issue let us know.

Welcome to the Forum.
It's been a while since I took a look at that issue.
If I recall correctly you can add a new value to a sub-key inside your Registry to kill off the background image on the logon page by doing the following:
- Right-click on Start
- Left-click on Command Prompt (Admin)
- When the User Account Control alert pops up click Yes
- Inside the Administrator: Command Prompt window type or copy & paste the following command:
Code:reg add "hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windows\system" /v "DisableLogonBackgroundImage" /t reg_dword /d 00000000
Press Enter key to execute the command
Type exit then press Enter key to close the Administrator: Command Prompt window.
The next time you restart computer your logon screen should no longer have that background image but just a flat colour instead. If this does not resolve your issue let us know.
