Windows 10: Removing Edge links from Spotlight lock screen

I am looking for a way to clean up my lock screen so that it only shows the date/time in the bottom left and the feedback section in the top right. I had it this way previously, but since reinstalling Windows I have not been able to get it back.

I have 'Get fun facts, tips, and more from Windows and Cortana on your lock screen' disabled under Settings > Personalization > Lock screen, but this doesn't seem to have an effect. Any ideas?

Don it is not that we want to put on slideshow we wish to continue using spotlight but remove our own pictures from spotlight and the lock screen.

This did not help images that i have used previously in the past still seem to be finding there way to my lock screen even though i have it set to Spotlight. I would like to keep spotlight on but remove my photos from the lock screen

 

Finally found an answer to my own question...

Edit Group Policy (gpedit.msc) > User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Cloud Content > Do not suggest third-party content in Windows spotlight

Disable this setting, problem solved. Hopefully that saves someone else the headache...

 

Thank you for coming back and posting the solution!

Question: do you mean disable or enable the setting?

Because it's a double negative: if you disable not suggesting == do suggest

a bit confusing.

 

Thanks a lot! I have been irritated for weeks with this stupid enforced update. I was not able to find out how to switch it off, even a Microsoft employee could not help me (via chat). This is the first I am really disappointed with Microsoft. Anyway, could you elaborate more on how to fix this? I do not understand where to find this file.

 

I don't seem to have cloud content under windows components. I am using version 1511 - 10586.713 Anything I'm missing?

 

Instructions I followed (and OP offered) can be found at

There are two - one is for 3rd party apps that still leaves microsoft ads. The other so far has seemed to remove the microsoft ads, but I still get little floating text boxes which is obnoxious.
