  1. How to find out the location of a certain Microsoft Spotlight background


    Good afternoon,


    I was wondering, if anyone here would know anything about finding out the location of a certain wallpaper, that refreshes time to time on the lock screen ; I read, that Microsoft Spotlight is some kind of system operation, which provides fresh backgrounds for Windows laptops and PC, but I clearly remember, that there was some sort of icon in the right upper corner, where you could look where the picture was taken.

    I also attached the picture of a wallpaper that I'm interested in How to find out the location of a certain Microsoft Spotlight background [​IMG]

    Thanks for your answers in advance :-

    :)

    Hi,

    Windows spotlight is an option for the lock screen background that displays different background images and occasionally offers suggestions on the lock screen. For us to better isolate your concern, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Is there a way for you to provide us a screenshot?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow these steps to modify Lock screen background to spotlight:

    • Open Settings.

  3. welcome screen is not asking if i like the spotlight choice

    Hi,

    One of the possible reasons why your laptop is not asking if you like the spotlight choice might be because the Windows spotlight is not set as your lock screen background. To address this concern, we suggest enabling Windows spotlight as your lock screen
    background. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Personalization and then select Lock screen.
    • Under Background, click on the drop down menu and make sure to click on Windows spotlight.

    If further assistance is needed, don't hesitate to reply on this thread.
