Hi Al,

First, make sure that you are connected. Windows Spotlight captures images from the
Bing search engine. The pictures may not change if you're offline.

• Right-click on the desktop and select Personalize.
• Press the Lock Screen tab
• Under Background, switch from Windows Spotlight to either
  Picture or Slideshow.
• Log off and Log in.
• Go back to Lock Screen and select Windows Spotlight again.

If the issue remains, follow the steps below to reset Windows Spotlight:

• Right-click on the desktop and select Personalize.
• Press the Lock Screen tab
• Under Background, select Windows Spotlight.
• Right-click on the Start menu, select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
• Enter the command below and press Enter to reset Windows Spotlight:
  

Get-AppxPackage -allusers *ContentDeliveryManager* | foreach {Add-AppxPackage “$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml” -DisableDevelopmentMode -register }

6. Restart your PC.

Regards.
