Hello, I am new here to ElevenForum. I have a problem with the lockscreen picture of Windows 11. I changed the lock screen picture to a custom one that I made a while ago, and the custom picture only shows up whenever I lock the system with the Win+L shortcut keys (I'm not sure if it also applies for whenever the computer goes into sleep mode via either pressing the sleep button or leaving it for a while.) However, the problem is the picture does NOT show up whenever I boot to the lock screen, whether I turned on the computer or restarted it. So, is there any way to make it so the custom lockscreen picture shows up every time on boot/startup?

My mistake on the build number: it's actually 22621.1105, not 2261.1105. I should've double checked.

Sometimes things don't always show up during the boot/start phase of Windows, have to wait until it gets everything loaded. Might be the location of the image is not yet available for awhile or after the load finishes.

Same problem here....No LockScreen showing up on restart. Have tried just about every fix on Google. Windows Key /L shows the specified picture...but startup only a black screen with my account picture. A Windows Bug? Wouldn't be surprised!
