If you like to modify login sceen texts, then check these files:

C:\Windows\System32\en-US
wininit.exe.mui - login texts
winlogon.exe.mui - logout texts

C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd
basebrd.dll - login/logout branding logo

C:\Windows\System32
imageres.dll - login/logout wallpaper, sound, spinning wheel image
authui.dll- login/logout screen shutdown-/ease of access-/keyboard- buttons (It's very dangerous to modify this file in any way, if you modify the text lines in this file please test it in virtual machine first to make sure it does not break your system)

Example topic of How to modify authui.dll file:
