Editing Lockscreen with Script via Registry
Hey there,
does somebody know the Registry-Path to edit the Lockscreen-Picture?
I want to automate it, so Powershell is the best way i guess.

Hi Schulzi
You will need to create a Registry Value in key HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization called LockScreenImage with a value of pointing to the file you want to use for lockscreen
You can also do this via Group Policy Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > “Force a specific default lock screen image”

did not worked for me...
If I edit the Registy-Entry, nothing happens-it wont change the Lockscreen Picture to the specified value.
Maybe I did something wrong?
Had to create the Registry-Key but normally that shouldn't be a problem.
And is it possible to create a Lockscreen-Diashow on the same way as well??
