  1. Windows Spotlight DOES NOT EXIST


    Ok, so it seems a lot of the lock screen functions in my windows 10 do NOT work on my computer for reasons unknown , after a year of having the same picture i thought it was enough and i wanted to change it. This opened the gates to hell, and not only does my slideshow not work no matter what i try, and because of that i decided to download windows 10 spotlight, but it REFUSES to exist inside of my lock screen. Any ideas anyone?

    :)

    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?

    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.

    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.
