    My windows spotlight stops out of nowhere


    Hi everybody,I noticed my windows spotlight stopped working one day and tried to fix this issue to no avail. However, when I create another account on my computer, windows spotlight started working again for this specific account, and not for the main account that I use. I have previously before I opened a new account tried to fix this issue by re-registering the service using PowerShell, resetting spotlight settings, deleting files, etc.I know that this questions have been asked before, but I really tried everything I could and nothing seems to work so far, so please help me with this one!!

    :)

    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.
