Windows 10: Cannot use Windows Spotlight on lockscreen

Hello, ive been in Windows 11 22H2 since launch, and have restored Windows on 18-9-2023 cuz I had a lot of useless apps and everything was backed up and was ready to go, everything went smoothly but not lockscreen spotlight, slideshow and not even a picture, after every restart, it shows the default Windows 11 lockscreen, setting a picture shows that only after i log out or after a sleep, spotlight and slideshow doesn't even work, just the default wallpaper, even after a log out. Any ideas how to fix this, i really loved the changing wallpapers and several of them ends being my main wallpaper.

Lockscreen wallpaper (windows spotlight) on desktop

It is called windows spotlight.

In order to set them to your lockscreen go to where you change your wallpapers, select slideshow and choose windows spotlight.

There are ways to save the current wallpapers to use as your desktop and for other purposes. (as long as it is legal)

Windows Spotlight Lockscreen not visible

Hi,

The recent Windows 10 update may have unregistered your Windows Spotlight or possible that a software conflict may have caused this problem. Have you tried shutting down and restarting your computer? If you haven't, then we suggest that you do that first
to isolate this problem.

If restarting your computer did not do anything, then we may have to re-register your Windows Spotlight. Follow these steps:

• Go to Settings and click Personalization.
• Click Lock screen.
• Set Background to either Picture or Slideshow.
• Open the Run command by pressing Windows key + R.
• Type in the below command and hit Enter.

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like “*SystemApps*”} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Once done, press Windows key + L to see if Windows Spotlight is working.

Update us with the result.

Regards.

Considering the question actually mentions 'Windows Spotlight' this is hardly going to move things forward.
