  1. Windows 10 for Workstations and Spotlight


    HiI did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro for Workstation and enabled Spotlight. I waited for 48 hours but I still had the standard image. I checked%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets and there where no images there.I then went through the standard procedure of resetting Spotlight by deleting the files under "Settings" and Re-register Spotlight using PowerShell etc Windows Spotlight lock screen picture won't change - Microsoft Community - No luck, still no imagesI ran both sfc/scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /

    :)

    windows spotlight

    Hi Leland,

    Windows Spotlight is a nifty feature in Windows 10. It can downloads pictures and advertisements from Bing and then displays them on your lock screen. Besides, you can mark whether you wish to see more or less images of a similar type.

    To sort out your concern, simply follow the steps provided below:

    • Go to privacy settings:
    • Background apps turn on
    • For spottlight setting app must be on.
    • You can now use spottlight in personalisation tab.

    We also suggest to re-register your Windows Spotlight by following the steps provided by
    Kapil Arya MVP on this

    .

    Should you need further information, don't hesitate to contact us.

    Regards.
