    Settings app freezes and fails when trying to set an 8k image as wallpaper.


    I have 2 monitors one is 4k and the other one is 1080p. I wanted to have a wallpaper that spans over both screens without looking low res on the 4k screen.I figured an 8k image would do the trick but whenever I try to set the picture as wallpaper, the settings app freezes for 5-10 seconds and then it switches to the "solid color" option and the desktop is black.The next time I try to open the settings app, it takes 10-20 seconds to open.The image file has 33MB. Converting it to a png from jpeg didn't change anything.A friend was able to set the same image as wallpaper without any issues. He

    Wallpaper and Lock screen previews do not appear in the Settings app

    At first I thought this is only about Spotlight, because it also doesn't work properly, it stuck; but this is bigger than this. Settings app won't show the Wallpaper and Lock screen previews and also, Spotlight is stuck.
    I tried everything I found on the internet,

    • I've created a new account and it also got this problem
    • system scans, sfc - no luck
    • resetting settings app a few times
    • remove default image / settings files from system folders with guides (adding .bak etc.)
    • re-enabling Spotlight via some code on Powershell (even I do not think is is only about spotlight) didn't solve
    I was an insider, so I enabled insider updates and got the latest update and problem still exists. ( v2004 - Build 20257.1 )

    Anyone know something different?
