Windows 10: W10 login screen picture windows spotlight

How can I lock it

:)

 

Windows Spotlight on the lock screen

Hi,

There are multiple causes on why you're encountering this issue. To further troubleshoot the issue, we suggest that you disable and re-enable Spotlight. Simply follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the desktop and open Personalize.
• Open Lock Screen tab.
• Under Background, switch from Windows Spotlight to a Picture or the Slideshow.
• Click OK and close the Window.
• Now Log off and log in.
• Navigate to Lock screen and enable Windows Spotlight again.

Let us know how it works.

 

Windows Spotlight and the initial power-up Login screen


With the anniversary update, the spotlight feature works on Login screen as well (yay!!)

But... anecdotal evidence indicates that currently the Windows Spotlight will ONLY change pictures at a later time after you have invoked the lock screen at least once.

But the problem is, not everyone has a habit of going to the lock screen daily (like me with my home machine that basically doesn't need to be locked, unlike in an office environment). As it is now, if I want to see a new spotlight picture for my power-up login screen, the only way that works for me is to go to the LOCK screen on purpose after I have signed in, then go back to desktop immediately. Then on the next day, I will most likely see a new picture for my login screen.

.... Why do I have to lock my screen JUST for the sake of seeing a new spotlight picture on my login screen?? Or have I missed anything here?

 

Creators Update 1703 Sign-in/Login screen Spotlight feature broken

KB4034674 cumulative update is installed.

There is no error message. The sing-in/login screen show the same pic from default ones. I can change it when I select Picture, but when Spotlight is set login/sign-on secreen will always show the pic set with Picture option and not the Spotlight picture.
But the Lock screen, on the other hand, shows and cycles Spotlight pictures nicely.

It is on all user accounts, because it is the login/sing-on screen displayed after windows boots.
