    Windows 10 spotlight is still broken and there is no fix


    Yes it sticks on one image, it does not change and it cannot be stopped. After reboot the stuck image always reappears regardless of user settings.

    There are more search results for this than I have time to look at but they all say the same things, the answers are always the same and none of it works.

    How about spending a little less time on the 500th iteration of desktop icons and start fixing the things that actually need it.

    Windows Spotlight broken, not downloading images

    Yes, that was part of the 'fix' and Brink's tutorial does that (and more).

    On it's own, I've never found it to be sufficient to fix a badly broken Spotlight. Back in 1607 I seriously broke Spotlight by some injudicious manual changes (I was trying to 'un-like' an image that had got stuck there until I got sick of seeing it). An in-place repair install was the only fix for that *Sad
