Windows 10: Fix the lock screen using windows spotlight.

I very much like the windows spotlight for my lockscreen, but lately it doesn't change everyday or offers up only the same 3 pictures. How do I fix this? I have tried changing my timeout time. Saying I don't like the picture I do but comes back usually the next day. I truly enjoy all the pictures but it is only showing 2 or 3 the same for about 2 weeks now.
