  1. How to change Windows Spotlight preferences?


    Every time I turn on my system, I enjoy seeing the various scenes and landscapes, but the feedback options are extremely limited, and having to wait for an image to appear before i can say "Yes, I like it show me more!" gets annoying. I was hoping there was a way to be more specific. Something in settings maybe, or maybe even in my Microsoft profile to say "Show me images like: (Insert theme) and/or (Insert theme)" I realize that you could just set an image in settings and change it later, but I really like the pseudo-randomness of Windows Spotlight images, so you never know what you're gonna get; and I enjoy the quality of the images even more. If there is already something like this in place, can someone please tell me how to get to it?

    :)

    Spotlight

    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?
    • Have you made any recent changes before this issue occur?
    • 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.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.
