  1. Will there ever be a solution from Microsoft for the non-functioning Spotlight in Windows 11?


    Will there ever be a solution from Microsoft for the non-functioning Spotlight in Windows 11? I have tried all of the "solutions" posted here and they all have failed. I set the Lock Screen customization to Pictures and I get the pictures at sign-in and lock screen, but without the information that used to show up when Spotlight worked. But each time I have tried one of the posted solutions to set Spotlight for my Lock Screen Personalization, all I get is that blue graphic. So, I set Lock Screen for Picture and I get the Picture, but none of the explanatory information. Does Microsoft car

    Spotlight

    Hi,

    Windows spotlight is an option for the lock screen background that displays different background images and occasionally offers suggestions on the lock screen. For us to better isolate your concern, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Is there a way for you to provide us a screenshot?
    • Have you made any recent changes before this issue occur?
    • Are you able to use spotlight before?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow these steps to modify Lock screen background to spotlight:

    • Open Settings.
    • Click Personalization and select Lock screen.
    • Under Background, choose Windows spotlight.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.
