Windows 10: My lockscreen picture just disappeared?

I'm in windows 10. At first, my lockscreen spotlight stopped working. Then I tried to delete all the spotlight assets and the set files, as suggested here, then restart, then BAAAM!!The assets were in%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\AssetsAnd now there IS a picture file which is supposed to be a valid resource.Now, what?

Find Lockscreen Picture Location

I have a picture set as my lockscreen in Windows 10 but something happened and the file was deleted.

The picture is still set as my lockscreen though. Is there a way I can recover the photo?

 

Lockscreen Picture

Hi Bhavin,

Sorry for the delay in response.

• Check if this happens only when you select a particular lock screen picture?
• Have you set your Facebook photo or the profile picture on any other Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 computer?
• Does it happen only when you restart the computer?
• Do you use Windows 10 home or pro?

You may check the version by using these steps.

Type Winver in the search box and check.

Check the option that is selected in the lock screen as a Picture or slideshow in Windows 10 Pro.

• Right click on an empty space and select Personalize.
• Click Lock Screen and check if it is set to Picture or slideshow.

Thank you.

 

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That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date.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.
