    Windows Spotlight is not working


    Hi, When I changed my Windows Lockscreen to Windows Spotlight, it reverted back to Picture. I perform some fixing procedure by looking to Windows Central, but it increased the issue. Now, If I applied windows spotlight, it appears blank & same happened at lock screen also. Please assist me.


    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.
