    Windows spotlight not updating, sfc scan turns up errors


    As the title says, I noticed that the wallpaper from the Windows spotlight wasn't changing anymore. Looking online, an sfc scannow was suggested. "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix someof them." I tried DISM restorehealth as well which gave me the "The source files could not be found". I've attached the CBS.log as I'm not good at figuring out what the text means if there is a problem.

    -Running latest updated Windows 10

    Windows Spotlight Automatically Turns Off

    Windows Spotlight on the lockscreen automatically turns off. Whenever I restart the computer, Windows Spotlight turns off, the background switches to "Picture", and the picture it uses is the Spotlight image that showed up before I turned off the computer.
    I can turn Spotlight back on, and the lockscreen background changes to a new Spotlight background, but the process will start all over again whenever I turn on the PC. I have no idea how to solve this.

    Thanks in advance for the help

    How To Know Where The Windows Spotlight Photos Were Taken?

    To further assist you, kindly follow these steps:

    • Change the Lock Screen setting from Windows Spotlight to Picture or Slideshow.
    • Restart the computer.
    • Change it back to Windows Spotlight to refresh the image data for Spotlight.
    • Restart the computer.

    If the same issue occur, kindly refer on this link to run both the System
    File Checker (SFC) and DISM to check for system file corruption.

    If both scans are good, follow the steps on this link to create
    a new user profile.

    Kindly check if the same issue will occur with the new user profile.

    Keep us posted.

    The DISM RestoreHealth worked but the subsequent sfc /scannow came up with the same message about not being able to fix all of the corrupt files.

    run /scanhealth and go to bottom of log to see the corruption..

    Or Image Health - repair corrupt files (link in sig below) option1
    and post the details..

    Result says: "No component store corruption detected.The operation completed successfully."

    I ran the SFC /scannow afterwards and I still get the corrupt files message. Should I proceed with the image Health - repair corrupt files that you suggested?
