Verified with Windows 11 25H2 — updated on July 30, 2026
Supported on: At least Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Personalization Description
Disables the lock screen slide show settings in PC Settings and prevents a slide show from playing on the lock screen. By default, users can enable a slide show that will run after they lock the machine. If you enable this setting, users will no longer be able to modify slide show settings in PC Settings, and no slide show will ever start.
