Windows 10: Why did my Windows Spotlight get stuck on the same picture?

My Windows Spotlight was working fine, I clicked on "like it" for the 'vote' for the picture, now it is stuck on the same picture for weeks! The picture used to change every couple of days at least.

Windows Spotlight Picture in Lock Screen is Stuck

Windows Spotlight Picture does not change anymore. It is stuck on a mountain scene. I have tried the suggestions on line to fix it and it still doesn't change. Please help!

 

WINDOWS SPOTLIGHT - stuck on Picture, can't cahange to Windows spotlight

Hello,

I've set Settings - Personalization - Lock screen - Background to Windows spotlight.

Windows spotlight appears when I log off or lock my computer, but when I restart it or turn it on, it's stuck on a picture from Background - Picture.

I've tried this:

and

Windows Spotlight lock screen is stuck on the same picture!

but as my problem is a bit different (it's not stuck on a single Windows spotlight picture) maybe the solution is as well?

Thank you,

Sonja

 

WIndows Spotlight Picture struck in one picture

Hi Alok,

There are various reasons why Windows Spotlight wallpaper is not changing or fetching a new wallpaper from Bing.

As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest resetting Windows Spotlight preference by following the steps below:

• Create a system restore point.
  
• Once done, press Windows key + I to open Settings..
• Select Personalization.
• Click Lock Screen.
• Under Background option, select Picture.
• Set a picture as a default lock screen background.
• Locate to: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_<characters>\Settings.
  
  Note: Make sure to unhide all hidden folders on Windows 10.
• In this folder, delete these: roaming.lock and settings.dat.
• Repeat steps 2-4.
• Under Background option, select Windows spotlight.
• See if the issue will persist.

If the issue still persist, re-register Windows Spotlight:

• Press Windows key + S.
• Type powershell.
• Select Windows PowerShell.
• On the PowerShell window, type: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}
• Press Enter.
• See if your wallpaper will change.
