Windows 10 Background Settings locked

Question

Wednesday, October 7, 2015 12:42 AM

I have Windows 10 and the PC was added to a domain. Personalization isn't configured in Group Policy. I am unable to change the background settings. The settings are all grayed out and it says "Some settings are managed by your organization". Any solution for this? I have a logon script that is supposed to set the background to include information like PC Name and IP Address but it won't set. No problems on Windows 7 setting the background for standard users. My account was also added as a domain admin and local admin. Still doesn't work.

Thanks!!

If it is due system files abnormalities then try:

Using DISM Command:

I) Press Windows + x on your keyboard.

ii) Select Command prompt (Admin) to open Administrator Command Prompt .

iii) In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command:
**     dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth**
**     dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth**

Using sfc /scannow

a. Click on Start button and type cmd in search box.

b. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

c. Type the following command and hit Enter.

sfc /scannow

Hi ePangelinan,

Check your group policy settings, see if any conflicts there.

Besides, manually run the scripts and see if it would work in Windows 10.
