    Windows 10 Spotlight won't let go of my system. It keeps changing my lockscreen to an old Spotlight picture at every restart.I have gone into:"%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assetsand deleted all the files. That got an interesting warning from Defender. One or more of the spotlight files may be a threat?I don't believe that any of the files are harmful and see just another win10 issue with itself and I deleted them all.I cannot find the lockscreen image currently being displayed. My settings say my lockscreen is a Picture

  2. Windows 10 Lockscreen with Spotlight

    Hi,

    I'm running Windows 10 build 1703 (Creators Upgrade).

    I have two users set up on a desktop PC (both signing in using Live accounts).

    I have tried to set up the lockscreen on both users to use the Windows Spotlight background (i.e. Settings, Personalisation, Lock Screen, Background = Windows Spotlight), however the background does not change.

    I know the feature works as I have set it up on my laptop (where there is only one user set up), and the lockscreen background changes every day.

    Is it possible to get spotlight to work for multiple users?

    Lockscreen wallpaper (windows spotlight) on desktop

    It is called windows spotlight.

    In order to set them to your lockscreen go to where you change your wallpapers, select slideshow and choose windows spotlight.

    There are ways to save the current wallpapers to use as your desktop and for other purposes. (as long as it is legal)

    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.
