Windows 10: Spotlight picture not changinglight pictures

I'm a bit confused about the terminology of background pictures, themes and Spotlight picture. When the computer hasn't been used for a specified time, my screen savers start. If I go back to the computer and move the mouse my screensaver goes away and another Windows picture fills up the desktop. I believe this is called the Spotlight but I could be wrong.

This Windows picture used to change. Since I did a clean install of Windows 10 this picture does not change. How do I get it to change? I used to see several different pictures in random order.

Problem with Windows Spotlight

Spotlight pictures were nice while they lasted. As of yesterday it has reverted to the picture screen even although Windows +L shows the spotlight picture. It seems to happen when the Spotlight picture changes because I had a desert view until day before
yesterday and now the Spotlight picture is of a road in mountains. It seems too much of a coincidence that the screen reverts at the same time as the Spotlight picture changes.

 

Lock screen keeps changing from Spotlight to Picture

I have the Lock Screen picture on my laptop set to Spotlight, and it never changes. When I go back to check it after several days, the option is no longer Spotlight, but Picture, and the Spotlight picture is displayed several times below the drop down menu
for me to choose.

My preference is to use Spotlight, and for the picture to change. What is wrong that the setting keeps reverting to Picture?

 

Today it works for some reason!

 

Okay today I am back to the original picture. Can someone tell me where this folder of pictures is located. If I use the Windows Key plus L to lock screen then I get a different image.

 

Alicia , go to this path in explorer address bar and rename all files to . jpg

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\Loca lState\Assets

 

Copy and pasting this file doesn't take me anywhere. I must be doing something wrong. I can't find it manually either.

Okay I found some files in there. They are a listed with numbers and letters.

 

you have to rename the files with a jpg extension ( choose the biggest ones in size )

That said , you'd prefer use an app like " spotbright" on windows store since it's free and more user friendly this way *092

 

I really like the pictures in Windows spotlight. I'll keep the other app in mind and I'll go to the store to check it out. Would I only change the larger files to JPG?

Spotbright looks good. Can you just have pictures on lock screen without background wallpaper?

 

You can change smaller files too but they match as portrait rather than landscape

and yes you can just set pic on lock screen while having a plain color as desktop background or whatever you like

 

Okay that's great, thanks!

 

I downloaded it but how do I make it the pro version? I tried to buy it and it kept asking me for my State not province.

 

Couldn't tell since I'm only using the free version with ads .........

 

I don't have any ads in mine and it still shows as free in purchases. Thanks.
