Windows 10 lock screen - Remove date/time

I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise. I need to show a specific background on the lock screen when a PC is in use remotely. When it does, it will show a kind message that the PC is currently under maintenance. However, I hate the current result because I always see this oversized date/time appearing on my lock screen.

I looked what can be done with GPOs and registry keys but so far no luck.

Would there be a way to remove this, or at least reduce its size if it's there "by design"?

Thanks.

Some user on Microsoft Community has post the same case, but the Microsoft stuff there said it is by design and can’t be changed.

How to remove windows 10 lock screen clock and date

I notice an user provided a workaround, which does eliminate the clock (by eliminating the entire lock screen), you may be interested in.

RENAME THIS FOLDER:

C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.LockApp_cw5n1h2txyewy

TO SOMETHING LIKE:

C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.LockApp_cw5n1h2txyewy.bak
