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.

 

welcome screen is not asking if i like the spotlight choice

Hi,

One of the possible reasons why your laptop is not asking if you like the spotlight choice might be because the Windows spotlight is not set as your lock screen background. To address this concern, we suggest enabling Windows spotlight as your lock screen
background. To do so, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Personalization and then select Lock screen.
• Under Background, click on the drop down menu and make sure to click on Windows spotlight.

If further assistance is needed, don't hesitate to reply on this thread.

Hi Wagner,

This issue with Windows Spotlight can be caused by corrupted system files.

We also suggest that you re-register Windows Spotlight by following the steps below:

• Click Personalization.
• Select Lock screen.
• Under Background, select Picture or
  Slideshow.
• Once done, press Windows key + S and type PowerShell, right click on Windows PowerShell, and choose
  Run as administrator.
• Enter the administrator credentials once prompted.
• In Windows PowerShell window, type or copy and paste this command:
  
  Get-AppxPackage -allusers *ContentDeliveryManager* | foreach {Add-AppxPackage "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode -register }
• Press Enter.
• Go back to Settings and set Windows Spotlight as the background.
