THANK YOU amcssit!! Your posts helped me cobble together a script that fully works on Windows 10 Pro. As you said, I had to make a batch file with the REG ADD commands, and that worked perfectly. It seems Windows doesn't like when a 3rd party program modifies those registry keys directly. I combined the portion of the script that the developers created (here) that downloads the image and puts it into a local folder, and the "execute the batch file" script that you posted. Here's what I have, it's probably not 100% code efficient (because it's pretty much copy-pasting parts of 2 different scripts), but it works well in my environment.
And the .bat file simply contains the 4 REG ADD commands from the previous couple posts pointing at the image path that is created by the first half of the script.
Thank you everyone who helped!

Thank you everyone who helped!
Edit: If someone would like to use this for themselves, I believe you will need to:
- Change the image URL in the parameters
- Change/create the .bat file to point at the correct image path
- Upload the .bat file to your Google Drive (or other filehost)
- Change the URL for the download in the script
- Change the filename of the .bat file in the script
