Always use custom logon background

This policy setting ignores Windows Logon Background.

This policy setting may be used to make Windows give preference to a custom logon background.

If you enable this policy setting, the logon screen always attempts to load a custom background instead of the Windows-branded logon background.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows uses the default Windows logon background or custom background.
