Unable to change lockscreen wallpaper within settings after restore.

[Enderxity]

Decided to restore my default lock screen wallpaper
runs restore-lockscreen.bat
opens settings and sees *Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization.

tried to look into lockscreen.md, checked group policy and removed "PersonalizationCSP" registry key, no luck.
running on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (19044.6216)
using v2.0.0-r1

Hi,

To make sure the restore process did complete successfully, please try the following:

1. Open command prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator
2. Navigate to the correct folder using cd C:\Full\Path\To\SpotlightDL\Folder
3. Run cmd /c restore-lockscreen.bat
4. Post a screenshot of the output (command prompt window)

Thanks!

heres the output, same result unfortunately

also i noticed something, after i execute the script, while the settings still says its managed, it is still able to set custom wallpaper via "browse", so the only thing thats effected is selection of previous wallpapers (i am fine with it tho)

Seems like everything went smoothly, and registry keys set when updating the global lock screen were removed successfully. Weird thing is, since all the keys are removed, the settings should not be managed anymore.

I have not tested Spotlight Downloader 2.x on Windows versions older than Windows 10 22H2, but it might be worth to try rebooting the PC (using the "reboot" option, not "shutdown").

just did a reboot, still remains the same

but as now i am able to set custom lockscreen image again, i would give it a pass
it is indeed weird tho

[ORelio]

This is still weird because Spotlight Downloader removes the values it has set previously in registry, so it should not happen. Would you please look at the HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent registry key? Maybe the CloudContent should be deleted entirely if no other values are set? (according to your previous screenshot, you already deleted the PersonalizationCSP key entirely)

[Enderxity]

i have checked the registry and do found something which i think is the "tweaking" i done before, but even with this entire key removed and rebooted the issue still presists

[ORelio]

The DisableWindowsSpotlight value cause the "Some settings are managed" message when present, because it removes Windows Spotlight from the "Background" dropdown menu. But the RestoreLockscreen script should have removed this value already 🤔

I'll try to reproduce by installing Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 in a virtual machine when I have more time to investigate.

[ORelio]

Unfortunately, I could not reproduce. Steps taken:

1. Download Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 ISO from Internet Archive
2. Install in a virtual machine (VMware Workstation) and activate Windows (MAS, TSForge option)
3. Install Spotlight Downloader v2.0.0-r1 using Setup program, settings become "managed by your organization":

4. Uninstall using Uninstall.exe

5. Settings are correctly restored, no longer "managed by your organization"
