    Spotlight lock screen pictures not working on 10130


    I only ever get one of the default pictures -- either the river or the sand. This is even after a complete reinstall. I also wiped out as much personalization data as possible from Bing and the Microsoft Account management page.

    They used to work fine, but I don't think they've appeared since 10074. I read that the directory for the lock screen images was changing, but deleting them doesn't fix the problem.

    The images do download and appear. I can find them under Microsoft.ContentDeliveryManager, but they don't ever show up on the lock screen.

    I also have trouble signing in to some apps, like Xbox. I'm worried it's a bigger problem with my account in general. They used to show up if I used a local account instead, but now that doesn't work either.

    Anybody else had this problem? I can deal if it's a bug, I just want to know it's more than just me.

    :)

    Windows 10 lock screen not displaying chosen image

    Windows lock screen worked perfectly fine until I decided to try using the slideshow feature. After which, when booted up, the lock screen would show a picture that I did not select, presumably from spotlight. Figuring there might be a problem, I went to
    change lock screen back to picture, but at boot up, lock screen would still show the spotlight picture.

    When I use WIN+L to lock my computer, it would display the chosen picture, but after turning off and on again, it would proceed to show the spotlight picture again.

    May I know how to fix this? Thanks! Spotlight lock screen pictures not working on 10130 :)
