    Windows spotLight behaviour is illogical


    Hello,

    I'm somewhat annoyed by Windows Spotlight, because it asks me if I like the wallpaper it is displaying.

    When I reply 'No' it will give me another wallpaper, which I might like or not. However if I select 'No' a couple of times not being a troll but actually not into the wallpaper it will give me the default mountain wallpaper with red backpack in front in anyone noticed. This mountain wallpaper is so annoying to look at because we've all seen it a thousand times and we're sick of it. What is the logic of Windows Spotlight to give us this dreadful wallpaper it's actually beautiful but we've seen it too much when we don't like a few suggestions? Keep on suggesting Windows Spotlight! and don't treat me like I'm a spoiled kid who doesn't like the wallpaper so you give him the default ugly one! Please fix this Microsoft! Thank you!

    :)

    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.

    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
    link
    .

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

    Regards.
