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.

    Creating a new user account always brings back the Spotlight collection in a matter of minutes after selecting Background Spotlight, the problem is that it doesn't seem to last.

    After a day or two the collection disappears, the default Whitehaven picture pops back up and that seems to be the end of it.

    I would expect a new collection to show up when the Windows Spotlight pictures get updated, given that they are saved in the same folder, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

    I think MS needs to explain a little better what logic they use to update the Background Spotlight Collection; it doesn't make any sense to get back the default Whitehaven picture on its own without changing any settings. 😂

    This feature is so unstable that is laughable. 😁

    I had the Spotlight collection yesterday on this machine and today it disappeared. The default Whitehaven picture showed up again with a menu that now looks different, it only has the open option now instead of the redundant Open and Enter they had originally.

    New Whitehaven menu with Build 22523.

    Also, the icon and the menu sometimes disappear completely even if Spotlight is selected.

    Most inconsistent behavior with this feature, things keep changing every day.

    Now even the default Whitehaven picture disappeared on one machine.

    Worked on all my installs as well.

    The only gripe I have - changed back to my favorite picture, only to be replaced by the Whitehaven picture a short time later. My selected one wasn't in one of the previous ones

    Upgraded from 19044.1415 to 22523.1000.

    Spotlight Collection worked fine, populated after a few minutes of selecting Spotlight.
