Spotlight on Windows 11 not working

okay it seems your Windows 11 doesnot have Windows Spotlight option available in the dropdown list...and this forum is based on those who have spotlight but unable to use..

try looking for a solution in this forum:

Redirecting

Also make sure that the account you are using is an administrator account, and windows is not a "N" version, i.e. your windows is not Windows 11 home N. (as far as i know Windows 11 N version does not have spotlight feature)

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
