Windows 10: Screen flickers and switches to lock screen randomly while working – Windows 11 24H2 Build...

Hi, guys.Since June 9th, my computer has started acting strangely while I'm working. The screen randomly flickers black and then switches to the lock screen, forcing me to drag upwards so that the screen disappears. This happens multiple times per hour, even when I’m actively using the computer not idle. Somtimes up to four times after each other.

Windows 11 - Spotlight will not work on Lock screen

Hi,

Problem

• Windows Spotlight will not work on Lock screen – Just a black screen is displayed.
  

Build Info and Background

• Our desktop PC is a 64-bit PC running Windows 11 Home vsn 23H2 OS Build 22631.3235 and all the latest drivers are installed.
  
• Our Desktop PC is functioning normally.
  
• We have 2 Admin accounts configured.
  
• Windows Spotlight works perfectly on Lock screen of only 1 or the 2 accounts.
  
• Windows Spotlight work perfectly as the wallpaper on both accounts.
  

Things I’ve Tried

• I have done an in-place upgrade of Windows 11 which fixed the problem for a few hours and then the lock screen went black again.
  
• For the account with the spotlight lock screen issue…
  
  • It doesn’t matter if the “Show the lock screen background picture on the Sign-in screen” is ON or OFF.
    
  • I can change the background to a default picture, or specify a personal photo, and it works perfectly.
    
  • If I set the Lock screen to a slideshow it just displays the default picture I previously selected.
    
  • From the Command Prompt (with Admin Privileges) I have run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and it said “The operation completed successfully.” But Spotlight on the lock screen still didn’t work.
    

What else can I try?



Thanking you in advance for your help, Dave
