Windows 10: Windows Spotlight Bug

There seems to be an issue with windows spotlight on my windows.


On the login screen I don't see the windows spotlight picture. I only see the information and the 'like what you see?' option on top.


But when I turn the 'Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen' option off the picture is visible. I can't seem to understand what the problem is. I know this is a really small issue and I hate to nitpick about this but this is really bugging me.


I have already tried to reset windows spotlight, it didn't help.


I would really appreciate if someone provides a solution to this.
