  1. Sign in screen shows only window spotlight


    Hello,


    In my desktop, I have 4 local users created, one is a local admin account. 2 accounts, include the admin, were working correctly, but other two are having issue on their's sign in screen. The problem is only one picture of Window SpotLight appeared on their sign in screen, and I want it to be a picture or slideshow in a local folder like other users, not the SpotLight's picture. Please note that this issue is only occur when I click sign out, not the lock screen or Win + L. The lock screen work perfectly on showing the picture that I want.

    How can I fix this issue?

    My system is Windows 10 Home, built 1713.471 Version 1803.

    I have tried:

    1-Personal setting, Lock screen, Picture or Slideshow, but it doesn't work for the sign out.

    2-Remove setting.dat under %USERPROFILE%/AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\Settings, but it doesn't work for the sign out either.

    3- Reset the spot light in powershell as an Admin account with the command Get-AppxPackage -allusers *ContentDeliveryManager* | foreach {Add-AppxPackage "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode -register }, but it doesn't work for the sign out also.


    Thanks in advance.

    Simon

    :)

  2. Windows 10 spotlight lock screen wallpaper is not present in sign in screen. Plz. Let me know the remedy

    Hi,

    It's possible that the option to show a background picture on your sign-in screen is disabled that's why
    Windows Spotlight is not showing there. To provide the best solution to the issue, we'd like to isolate it first by asking a few questions:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer settings prior to this issue?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps that you've tried so far?
    • Which Windows 10 version and build is currently installed on your computer? To check, click the
      Start > Settings > System >
      About
      .

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you perform the steps below to enable the background picture on your sign-in screen:

    • Click Start > Settings.
    • Go to Personalization > Lock Screen.
    • Enable the option under Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen.

    We look forward to your response.
