Windows 10: Missing Lockscreen Random Pretty Pictures from Microsoft

I recently had a problem with the computer on restart in which I was in a TEMP workspace losing all my information. Working with Microsoft Support, the problem was resolved with several restarts of the computer. However, since the restarts, I no longer have those pretty lockscreen pictures from around the world that Windows would display. I can only pick one picture or have to use a slideshow from my own pictures. How do I get that world-view set of pictures to redisplay on sleep or lockscreen?

Lockscreen Picture Issue

Hi,

So I've been having issues with personalizing my lockscreen, it won't let me change the picture setting from Windows Spotlight. Along with it not letting me change the settings, when I finally get to the settings don't seem to get saved. I'll have set up
my lockscreen picture and my screensaver the night before and wake up to find they've been changed back to the default settings. I've tried restarting it, checking/updating the computer, looking through the forums, scan the internal workings of the system,
pretty much almost everything I can think of, yet nothing has worked. When I first got the computer I had no problems with changing the picture and having it stay that way. I'm really at a loss with what I could do to fix it and I'd really hate to have to
buy a brand new computer or something when I've only had the thing for less than a year. It's updated to Windows 10, so I'm not sure if it's a bug in the system or something wrong with the computer itself, but if anyone has any suggestions it would be very
much appreciated.

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
