    Unable to turn off fun facts on Windows 10 lock screen


    I just can't find a way to turn this feature off. Firstly, I went to Personalization->Lock screen and toggled off Show fun facts,tips, and more from Windows and Cortana on your lock screen. Then I locked screen and it still displays fact about tomorrow's St. Patrick's day event which isn't in my reminder or something. Then, I went to Settings->System->Notifications & actions and unchecked Get tips, tricks and suggestions as you use Windows as well as Show notifications on the lock screen. Still, the same thing shows as I locked screen. How to turn off this, for me, extremely annoy

    :)

    Turn off Windows Spotlight "Fun Facts"?

    My windows spotlight lock screen is covered with obnoxious "Fun Facts" that ruin otherwise beautiful images. Is there a way to turn this off? I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

    I tried a method suggested in another thread (switch the lock screen to "Picture" or "Slide Show", turn off "Get Fun Facts", then switch back to Windows Spotlight). This doesn't work - even after rebooting my machine, the annoying "Fun Facts" are still covering
    the screen. Do I need to change a registry entry or something?

    Also, where can we provide feedback to Microsoft on this? I'm amazed anyone thought this annoying feature was a good idea, and providing no easy way to turn it off is just crazy. There are threads on this exact topic going back several years, so clearly
    I'm not the only one annoyed by this.

  3. Fun Facts

    I'm trying to get my fun facts button back to my log on screen. When I go to Settings/Personalization/Lock Screen, I see the button that turns this feature on and off but I can get it to stay on. No matter what background setting I set it to, when I
    leave the Lock Screen page and then go back to it, the fun facts setting is always set to the off position. Any ideas on how to keep this setting turned on?

    Missing Fun Facts in Lock Screen

    For some time now I've had missing fun facts in Windows Spotlight on the Lock Screen. Its the same on my old insider PC which uses the same account which makes me wonder if its a setting thats being synced.

    My Mum's PC has Windows Spotlight with fun facts working and showing up on the Lock Screen. Mine only appear when I press win+L but doesn't work after a boot.
