    Hi there,
    i have win 10 Pro 64bit - last build - Ver. 1511 - 10586.3
    For some reason Windows spotlight is not working for me - when i am in Settings -> Personalization ->
    Lock Screen.

    As shown in the Picture:

    Windows spotlight NOT WORKING!

    same here on PRO version

    seems buggy lol

    PS: Oh wait

    I had some clue maybe but have to check it at home later on my comp

    do you have Bing search as default browser or something else ? ( I have google search by default and it might be responsible of spotlight no showing ! )

    ok , for those who got tuscked with spotlight feature not working though enabled in settings I used a workaround which works very well

    Go to windows store and get the free app :
    Amazing lock screen
    https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9wzdncrfj321
    it does the same from Bing and set a different lockscreen background when available

    Cheers
