If you are using the latest version of Windows 10, you may have noticed a blur or faded effect on the Login Screen (also known as Welcome Screen, Login Screen). When you start your Windows 10 computer and press any key or click the mouse button to switch from Lock Screen to Login Screen, Windows 10 applies a blur effect to the Login Screen background wallpaper which fades or hides the background image and focuses on the user account image ( avatar), username and password fields.
Some people may like this new eye candy effect, but many people don’t like this effect and they want to return the previous feature to show real and clear background image on Login Screen without any blur effect.
The following image shows the blur effect applied to the Login Screen in Windows 10:
In earlier versions of Windows 10, the Login Screen was used to dim or darken the background image but later versions of Windows 10 enable an acrylic blur or translucent effect (part of the new Fluent design) on the Login Screen background image.
Luckily Microsoft has provided a way to turn off or disable the blur effect on the Windows 10 Login Screen. If you also want to remove the blur effect from the Login Screen in Windows 10, this tutorial will help you out.
Here are some solutions / how to disable Windows 10 Login Screen blur effect (also known as welcome screen, login screen or welcome screen):
1. Disable Blur Effect on Login Screen Using Settings App
This is the simplest and easiest solution to disable blur effect on Login Screen.
Keep in mind if you follow this method, it will disable and remove blur and transparency effect from all elements in Windows 10 like Login Screen, Start Menu, Taskbar, Action Center, Notification Area icons fly-outs, Settings, UWP apps, etc.
1. Open the Settings App from the Start Menu or by pressing the button WIN + I simultaneously.
2. Now go to the “Personalization -> Colors“. Or, you can directly launch this page using the command “ms-settings: colors” in the RUN dialog box.
3. Now on the right side panel, look for the option “Transparency effects“.
This toggle switch on “Transparency effects” is set to ON by default which means transparency and blur effects are enabled everywhere.
Set the toggle button to OFF and it will immediately remove the blur effect from the Login Screen background as well as other UI elements.
2. Disable Blur Effect on Login Screen Using Group Policy Editor
If you don’t want to disable transparency and blur effect from Start Menu, Taskbar and other sections but want to disable it only on Login Screen background image, follow the steps that we provide below:
1. Press WIN + R together to launch a dialog box RUN. Now type gpedit.msc and press Enter. This will open the Group Policy Editor.
2. Now open:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Logon

There he is. This will immediately disable the blur effect on the Login Screen.
PS: If you want to restore the blur effect on the Login Screen background image in the future, set the option in the Group Policy Editor to “Not Configured” again.
3. Disable Blur Effect on Login Screen Using Registry Editor
If you are using the Home edition of Windows 10, you will not be able to run the gpedit.msc command because this edition does not come with a Group Policy Editor. This trick is specifically for Windows 10 Pro edition.
If you can’t use or don’t want to use Group Policy Editor, you can take the help of Registry Editor to disable blur effect on Login Screen. Just follow the simple steps below:
1. Press the button WIN + R together to launch a dialog box RUN. Now type regedit and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.
2. Now open the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsSystem
3. On the right side panel, right click on an empty area and select New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Set the new DWORD name as DisableAcrylicBackgroundOnLogon and set the value to 1.
There he is. Close Registry Editor and check Login Screen and you will not get blur effect on background image.
PS: In future if you want to restore blur effect on Login Screen, delete DWORD created in the steps above.
