  1. Windows background spotlight not working


    Hello. I encountered such a small problem. Many people complain that windows spotlight does not work, but it's a little different for me. Spotlight works on the lock screen, the picture changes every day. But the background picture is always the same, even though I set "spotlight". I tried to reset Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose} after deleting the setting.dat and roaming.dat files, but the situation is the same. I thought maybe it was the fault of Wind

    Hi, have you ever removed Edge?
    Sometimes this might happen because there's a MS server issue. However, what you say above suggests something else may be amiss. N.B. after resetting Spotlight as Bree suggests, it may take several days (in my experience) before it starts working again. Please post a screenshot like this:

    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.
