\"img100\"<\/p>\n

This is the ugly picture that is haunting our Mulitple user All-In-One desktop computer since upgrading to Win 8.1 from Win 8.0.<\/p>\n

I can’t stand it!<\/p>\n

Each user has a lock screen chosen, no user has that one.<\/p>\n

When someone logs out their own lock screen shows for a few seconds\/minutes, but then this one takes over.<\/p>\n

It’s horrible.<\/p>\n

Before the update to 8.1, Win 8 on this machine showed the last user logged in\/out when everyone else was logged out or … if whatever else senario happened.<\/p>\n

Occasionally another picture appeared, but it was an O.K. one, not annoying like the above.<\/p>\n

In any case I want the picture gone. I cannot delete it from the computer, it’s locked to:<\/p>\n

\"Locked<\/a>
Locked to Admin to delete<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So hit “Continue” with Admin privileges and get this:<\/p>\n

\"Locked<\/a>
Locked to TrustedInstaller – won’t let Admin delete it<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That’s just the dirty way to handle it. I wanted to, but can not. I do want a real fix for the “problem” … I want my family computer to NOT USE SOME RANDOM means nothing to me so much that it’s annoying picture when no one is logged in.<\/p>\n

I have searched and searched and found no help. So if you know what to do, please leave a comment with clear details and\/or a link to the same sort of help somewhere safe online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
