Whenever I shut down my mac and turn it back on again, the initial lock screen with my profile is a default apple image. I have personalized my lock screen to match my wallpaper but still, whenever I fully shutdown my mac and turn it back on again, its changes back to the apple image. Is this an issue apple needs to fix or can I change something in my settings so I can personalize that specific screen when I turn my mac on.

you can only make the login screen match your user account's wallpaper. you cannot set it as a separate image.
if you are the sole user (not even a guest account) AND file vault is turned off you can go to System Settings, in the Lock Screen tab, and set "Login window shows" to "List of users". then your login screen matches your desktop background.
if you are using file vault or have multiple users, the above will not work. if that's your situation, you will need to wait for apple to address this. it may be worth your time to send feedback directly to apple. Feedback - macOS - Apple

You're welcome. I doubt it's something they want to change. However, feel free to send Apple feedback.
You can't change the log in screen in Ventura.
Great. something they should fix LOL. Thank you
This worked!! I needed to turn off File vault which did the trick. Thanks!
you're welcome.
