Windows 10: This Spotlight image is giving me a headache

For the last few days, almost an entire week, the Windows Spotlight feature gave me a really nice looking image for my lock screen.

It was a black and white picture of a lighthouse.

I loved it, but I was bothered that I couldn't save it.

Today it changed into something else, and I started looking online for it, so I can set it as my lock screen image permanently.

Now, after a 2 hour search, I couldn't find it. I tried everything.

Yes, I've been to the appdata folder all the way to Assets, since every website claims I can find the Spotlight images there.

Well, it's not. And all the dates are years old.

Of course this works for everyone but me.

Regardless, I'm so desperate. I need to find this image, did anyone else have it?

And yes, I'm well aware about the spotlight.it-notes.ru website, and also about the black and white lighthouse pic there.

It's NOT the one. Mine was way closer to the actual lighthouse, and you had a good view of it along with the ocean. I also can't claim that I have photographic memory, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the same location either.

I'm starting to think I'm going crazy, but someone else HAD TO HAVE this picture too.

I don't think I'll ever be satisfied in my life again until I have this image, it's driving me crazy.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Windows Spotlight image stuck

Hi Robin,

Windows Spotlight frequently changes the photos using
Bing to provide an image-of-the-day giving everyone a fresher look every time they access their computers. This feature is dependent on the Internet connection and without it, you won’t be able to get yourself that special nature scenery.

Furthermore, we suggest following the steps below to resolve the issue:

• Right-click on the Start Menu.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type the following commands (Wait for the process to finish before proceeding to the next steps.):
  • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, click Enter.
  • Sfc /scannow, click Enter.
  • Powershell, click Enter.
  • Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    then click Enter.
  • Restart the computer after the process.

Don't hesitate to inform us on how it goes.
