We need a reliable way to display easily changeable custom text over the Windows 11 lock-screen background. We previously used Desktop Info for this, but it does not appear to work with the lock screen on current Windows 11 builds. We also tested Organizational Messages for Windows Spotlight, but it did not provide the result we needed. Are there any confirmed working solutions, scripts, or supported enterprise features for doing this?

There is a PowerShell/.NET approach that generates a new image with the desired text rendered onto it, then uses that image as the wallpaper or lock-screen background. It takes a little scripting, but it allows the text to be updated programmatically.
I used a similar script for ordinary wallpapers. It writes the text onto an image with .NET methods, and the conference demonstration showed a more complete version of that idea.
