Windows 10: Disabled Spotlight tips still shows after standby

Hi.Via GPO I've disabled Spotlight fun facts, tips, tricks on the lock screen. It works fine, but they still show up when the computer resumes from standby.Is that another setting? I tried the Windows Component > Cloud content > Don't show windows tips but I don't think that's what I'm looking for.Any other setting to change?Thanks

Spotlight NOT showing Fun Tips on New Laptop. Is this default?

Well apparently ... after that one instance of tips showing ... nothing has been appearing again.

Do you think this has anything to do with Thinkpads? I've seen other thinkpads in the office with the same issue.

Any other help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

My Spotlight Picture now is a deer ... and there doesn't seem any way of changing it.

Note:
-- i frequently use "hibernate" and "lock screen" but still no fun tips.

Thanks

Welcome to Ten Forums jsaafrt

All my 1909 machine show those tips when using Spotlight on the Lock Screen. They won't show at boot, but that has always been the case AFAIK.





Try WinKey+L to lock it, do you see them then? If not, it still may not be a Spotlight problem. These tips are specific to each image and seem to be downloaded along with the image. Once in a while I have seen an image with no tips, but when the next new image appeared it had its own tips.

Does your Spotlight change the images? Wait a day or so and check. If not, try resetting Spotlight.

Reset and Re-register Windows Spotlight in Windows 10

I don't think so, that setting only apples when 'Picture' or 'Slideshow' is selected for the Lock Screen. The OP is using 'Spotlight'.

 

Spotlight

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?

• Are you able to use spotlight before?

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

• Open Settings.
• Click Personalization and select Lock screen.
• Under Background, choose Windows spotlight.
