Windows 10 Change lock screen background via group policy

Hi 

 

I have create a group policy to change lock screen background for windows 10 machines. It does not update the lock screen background. Does someone knows why and how to fix it.

    I believe if you are using 1803 the ability to change the desktop backgrounds and lock screen via GPO has been overridden. 

     

    Therefore rendering your GPO useless. 

     

    up to 1709 is OK only 1803 brings this change. 

     

    An update to fix is in the works
