Split from this thread.

Up and running on both PC's.

Sadly, no new Widgets or Spotlight here yet.

Head's up!! If you don't see the new Spotlight

Collection, reboot.

    FG, my Spotlight Collection has stayed put with

    this last build, but the right click menu keeps

    changing. Right now I have no Next Picture option.

    This is becoming a stupid joke, after another day the collection disappeared again, it is back to the default Whitehaven picture. I wish MS could explain what they are trying to do with this.

    Not a coincidence that this screwup happens every time they update the Lock screen spotlight pictures.

    I think it is proven by now that the 2 features Windows Spotlight for the Lock Screen pictures and the Spotlight collection for the Background pictures are stepping on each other toes. When the Lock screen pictures are updated, they screw up the Spotlight collection pictures which may just disappear.

    Clearly the 2 processes should be separate and not interfere on each other, but currently one process is affecting the other.

    You can see that all the pictures of the collection that were set on 1/8/2022 have just disappeared from the assets folder on this machine, it just happened after the Lock Screen Spotlight pictures were updated.

    Same bug on a second machine, spotlight collection disappeared on the same day just an hour later, all pictures from 1/8/2022 are gone:

    Hi CK,

    Here it is again 2 days later with a different menu on the icon again, when are they going to make up their mind?

    I can switch through 5 pictures now, but the collection will probably disappear again in a couple of days like it did previously.

    Two different machines got the collection back at about the same time, 2 days after the update to 22526.

    What about these extra options on the interactive menu? Cut and Paste don't work and get the error 0x80004001.

    The create shortcut just makes a second redundant shortcut on the desktop that doesn't make any sense. 😝

    Edit:

    The following day the menu changed, and it finally looks correct. No more Cut and Delete, not Create shortcut.

    Weird behavior, I really hope they make up their mind. 🤣

    Hi CK,

    The only one that started working after a few minutes of selecting Spotlight was on a clean Install. It also lets me switch to 5 different pictures.

    I've seen the same on previous build, but it doesn't seem to last either it will disappear after a day or two. 🤣

    Here is the only difference after updating with ISO from a 22523 that had the Spotlight collection working, after reboot now it keeps the "Spotlight collection" selected with the default Whitehaven picture, but there is no Icon nor any interactive menu.

    This thing is simply a not working mess!
