  1. 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.

    :)

    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

    .

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

    Regards.
