Windows 10: Windows Spotlight No Longer offering information about image

Hi. I have Windows spotlight as my log on image. Until recently It would offer me the chance to read about where that image was in the world. I seem to have lost that functionality as now I only see the image prior to log on and no option to find out about it anywhere.

Do I need to change the settings to get this function back or has it been removed as an option? Thanks

:)

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

Windows Spotlight image stuck

Hi Robin,

Windows Spotlight frequently changes the photos using
Bing to provide an image-of-the-day giving everyone a fresher look every time they access their computers. This feature is dependent on the Internet connection and without it, you won’t be able to get yourself that special nature scenery.

Furthermore, we suggest following the steps below to resolve the issue:

• Right-click on the Start Menu.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type the following commands (Wait for the process to finish before proceeding to the next steps.):
  • dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, click Enter.
  • Sfc /scannow, click Enter.
  • Powershell, click Enter.
  • Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    then click Enter.
  • Restart the computer after the process.

Don't hesitate to inform us on how it goes.
