Hi Dskdoc

This is the Acrylic background, it is a new 'Feature' in the 1903 version of Windows 10 and it is dividing opinion . . .


If you do want to un-blur that image, it will take a registry edit, because there is no setting for that . . .

Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor

Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on

Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System

In the right hand pane, right click and choose New - DWORD

Name that new DWORD (paste this into the box): DisableAcrylicBackgroundOnLogon

Then double click that new DWORD and set its value data to 1

Click OK and close the Registry Editor

That's It!
