Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7, WindowsServer2008R2
This policy setting ignores Windows Logon Background. This policy setting may be used to make Windows give preference to a custom logon background. If you enable this policy setting, the logon screen always attempts to load a custom background instead of the Windows-branded logon background. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows uses the default Windows logon background or custom background.
