Microsoft is releasing a new default background image for the Microsoft Entra Personal and Work/School sign-in experience. This is today’s #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix !
Microsoft is making a change to the sign-in experience to align with the new modern design principals with the modernized end-user UX which aims to provide a cleaner experience across all authentication flow.
This update is visual only, no user or admin action is required, and it will not affect sign-in functionality nor will it supersede any corporate company branding configured in a Work or School Microsoft Entra ID tenant. This update will only affect screens where Company Branding doesn’t apply.
This update is already in General Availability and rolling out worldwide in August 2025 for personal Microsoft accounts, in late September 2025 for Microsoft Work and School accounts, with an expected completion by mid-October 2025.
Although no administrator action is needed to prepare for this change it is recommended to notify users of the change and update training documentation.
