  1. Windows Spotlight and the initial power-up Login screen


    With the anniversary update, the spotlight feature works on Login screen as well (yay!!)

    But... anecdotal evidence indicates that currently the Windows Spotlight will ONLY change pictures at a later time after you have invoked the lock screen at least once.

    But the problem is, not everyone has a habit of going to the lock screen daily (like me with my home machine that basically doesn't need to be locked, unlike in an office environment). As it is now, if I want to see a new spotlight picture for my power-up login screen, the only way that works for me is to go to the LOCK screen on purpose after I have signed in, then go back to desktop immediately. Then on the next day, I will most likely see a new picture for my login screen.

    .... Why do I have to lock my screen JUST for the sake of seeing a new spotlight picture on my login screen?? Or have I missed anything here?

    :)

  2. From login screen to Spotlight keybaord shortcut

    When I lock my computer in Windows 10, I see the Spotlight screen. Then I press a key and the Spotlight picture slides up and brings up the login screen. Is there a way I can bring the Spotlight picture back instead of logging in? It does time out eventually
    but it would be nice to quickly force it back. Thanks.

  3. Windows 10 Insider Preview 14342 Lock Screen background is black.

    When I switch on my laptop, the Lock Screen background picture(which I've set on Windows Spotlight) shows only a default picture each time. Which also shows up on the login screen

    Now when I lock the laptop the Lock Screen background is completely black, though the windows spotlight image does show up on the login screen. ****? How may I repair this on my side or is there gonna be an update?

    Edit: After much research I've come to know that the lock screen on boot up is called the system lock screen, and the login screen after that is the system login screen. The screen that is black is the USER lock screen. Cortana, the clock and everything
    else appears fine on the black screen.
