Windows 10: regarding windows 10 spotlight

Hi there,

I have strange question is I have windows 10 Pro (1909) and Office 365 Pro was installed on it. When I active my Office 365 Pro by using Office 365 account, my windows 10 spotlight cannot work properly. it always shows me the same image. I follow lots of workarounds on the internet, those cannot sort it out. My Office 365 is E5 and doesn't setup any group policy, I use the default function and settings. I have no idea on it. Does anyone have solutions for it?

Hi Leland,

Windows Spotlight is a nifty feature in Windows 10. It can downloads pictures and advertisements from Bing and then displays them on your lock screen. Besides, you can mark whether you wish to see more or less images of a similar type.

To sort out your concern, simply follow the steps provided below:

• Go to privacy settings:
  
• Background apps turn on
  
• For spottlight setting app must be on.
  
• You can now use spottlight in personalisation tab.

We also suggest to re-register your Windows Spotlight by following the steps provided by
