    Windows Spotlight stuck on the same picture. Nothing works


    Hello,


    My Windows Spotlight is stuck on the same picture for some time now. At first it was stuck on a picture of Pluto, I tried every possible way to fix it deleting those files as it's shown in solutions that help for most peopoe, resetting Spotlight using Windows Powershell. After using Windows Poweshell, it changed into a picture of a lake, but now it's stuck for some time again, even Windows Poweshell is not helping to fix it. Is there any solution to this?

    :)

    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.

  3. Windows spotlight not work!!

    Yes friend all these steps working for me.check these path , first path for check : C:\Windows\Web\Screen (find the stuck image and rename it) , or second path " C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData\ " at this path you will se two main folders check all these folder at all and you will find the image there.Rename or delete the image stuck only.After re-register again the spotlight and wait after some restart.Something last i had the same problem and delete the registry folder "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Creative\S-1-5-21-1367095634-179868200-954147944-1001" and do a restart after all these step the spotlight download again new images and start working again.Please make a backup first at register.before delete everything.
