    Hello!

    My windows spotlight is disabled or not showing it says some settings are hidden or managed by organization.....
    I have tried couple of ways as stated by many youtubers but all of them are not working on my windows.
    My windows is fully activated and genuine but after all of my efforts the grapes were sour and spoiled.
    Kindly give me such an effective solution that would work on my current version of windows.
    I have windows 10.....
    I hope I would get answer in couple of minutes...….

    :)

    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.
