Windows 10: How to fix Windows Spotlight Feature

Hi

I have been facing a problem with my windows spotlight features lately. The wallpaper on my Windows 10 Home OS does not change and is stuck on the same wallpaper for quite some time now. when I checked the directory where all those wallpapers are stored I find some type of icons instead of the actual windows wallpapers. there are some types of Game etc icons instead of the wallpapers and no wallpapers are to be found in the folder. I also rechecked to see if I have the wrong directory but no it was the right one. I also tried resetting Windows Spotlight but got the same icons back.

:)
