    Windows 10 Spotlight Lock Screen Picture never changes since last update


    Since the recent Win 10 update on my laptop, the lock screen picture that appears when you boot or return from sleep never changes. All I see is the same picture of a lighthouse. The picture used to change every day or so, but no more. Why? Is there a way to fix this?

    :)

    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.

  3. Lock screen stuck on picture. I chose the Windows Spotlight option.

    Try these steps:

    • In Personalization->Lock Screen settings change Background to Picture.
    • Delete everything from folder

      C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_<somecharacters>\Settings
    • In Personalization->Lock Screen settings change Background back to Windows Spotlight

    windows 10 lock screen -- spotlight does'nt change


    I presume you have set Spotlight as your lock screen, and probably also set the option to show the lock screen picture on the sign in screen.

    If so, and the picture still doesn't change then Spotlight may be broken. It does seem to be a bit 'fragile'. Usually resetting Spotlight fixes this. See this tutorial...

    Be patient, it can take some minutes for Spotlight to become fully operational after a reset.
