Did AWS stop including BGInfo on Windows 2019 servers?

0

I recently built a 2019 Windows server and noticed BGInfo was not there. I'm wondering if this is something that AWS stopped including in the images?

Hello.

EC2 Windows Server manages wallpapers using something called EC2Launch v2.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/ec2launch-v2-settings.html#ec2launch-v2-ui

5. On the Wallpaper tab, you can configure your instance wallpaper with a background image, and specify instance details for the wallpaper to display. Amazon EC2 generates the details each time you log in.

You can configure your wallpaper with the following controls.

  • Display instance details on wallpaper – This checkbox activates or deactivates instance detail display on the wallpaper.
  • Image path (.jpg) – Specify the path to the image to use as the wallpaper background.
  • Select attributes to display on wallpaper – Select the check boxes for the instance details that you want to appear on the wallpaper. Clear the check boxes for previously selected instance details that you want to remove from the wallpaper.
  • Display Instance Tags on wallpaper – Select one of the following settings to display instance tags on the wallpaper:
    • None – Don't display any instance tags on the wallpaper.
    • Show all – Display all instance tags on the wallpaper.
    • Show filtered – Display specified instance tags on the wallpaper. When you select this setting, you can add instance tags that you want to display on your wallpaper in the Instance tag filter box.

  • The problem I have is the wall paper tab is missing. I only have the General tab. There is a checkbox to set the wallpaper but no tab to customize it.
