  1. Windows spotlight is stuck on one picture


    I set my lock screen to windows spotlight and a little while after updating to Windows 11, the lock screen would not change its picture. It's been stuck on a single boring blue picture for months. How do i fix it?

    Windows Spotlight stuck on 1 picture

    For some reason the Windows Spotlight feature is stuck and doesn't change pictures on a daily basis before I log into Windows.

    I have tried deleting the specified files and refreshing Windows Spotlight using this tutorial on tenforums but it didn't fix the problem

    The tutorial also says that I have to make sure that the Settings app and Edge are running in the background through the Privacy Settings -> Background apps.

    However, I can't find these apps in my list at all to enable them in the first place. I did an "sfc /scannow" command prompt but it didn't find any integrity violations.

    WINDOWS SPOTLIGHT - stuck on Picture, can't cahange to Windows spotlight

    Hello,

    I've set Settings - Personalization - Lock screen - Background to Windows spotlight.

    Windows spotlight appears when I log off or lock my computer, but when I restart it or turn it on, it's stuck on a picture from Background - Picture.

    I've tried this:

    How to fix Windows Spotlight Lock screen errors on Windows 10 | Windows Central

    and

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...the-same/354224ea-203c-4b27-9ec9-0343bd100258

    but as my problem is a bit different (it's not stuck on a single Windows spotlight picture) maybe the solution is as well?

    Thank you,

    Sonja
