  1. Microsoft Spotlight is not working windows 10


    The lockscreen is stuck on 1 image. In a nutshell, the Assets folder is empty, the spotlight is not downloading images. Even when I manually included some wallpapers in the Asset folder, Spotlight is not using these wallpapers. The result, the lock screen is still the same.


    What I did: tried reset of spotlight, powershell commands, installed Microsoft iso and nothing worked. I basically tried different fixes related to spotlight but in vain


    P.S Another thing that is confusing me is the source of my current lockscreen wallpaper. Currently, my Asset folder is empty.


    Any idea about how to resolved this

    :)

    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.

    Hi,

    One of the possible causes why Windows Spotlight is not working is due to a corrupted system file or user profile.

    To further assist you, please answer the following:

    • When did the issue happen?
    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior this issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 are you using?
    • Can you please describe what issue with Windows Spotlight do you encounter? (ex:
      Windows Spotlight image is not changing)

    We will wait for your response.

    Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

    it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

    Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.
