Spotlight Collection on 225XX

"What I noticed was that the Spotlight collection pictures for the background were stored in the same location where Windows Spotlight is storing the Lock Screen pictures. When the Windows Spotlight picture were updated for the Lock Screen the Background collection disappeared."

I just find opposed thing happen with those lock screens.

• On weekend I did clean install of 22000.315
• Change Lock/Sign-in screen background setting to Spotlight, but background image stay default blueish picture.
• Update to 22518 -> Lock/Sign-in screen background get new image via Spotlight.
• Turn on that new Spotlight collection.
• Some time later Spotlight collection get first pictures --> Lock/ Sign-in screen background reset to default picture.

I prefer more that changing Lock/Sign-in screen picture so I change desktop background setting back to "Picture".

If I think time in future when this feature is available in public I would like to keep some light colored, neutral, non-changing background so that pinned icons on desktop doesn't get "hide" with colorful, dark background.

When using windows for work there is always some app(s) open covering desktop picture anyway.

Hopefully most of the issues will be fixed with the upcoming update on Thursday. 🙂

Yes, hopefully on Wednesday, but I wouldn't bet on it. 😒

Hi

Does anyone have same problem like mine?

Spotlight collection was working fine a few days ago, but recently, I turned it off and back on.

Hello,

Join the club!

I had all kind of different problems with this new feature including the one you are describing.

There are other FBH problem reports on the Spotlight Collection.

See my previous post on how I fixed it on my machines. We'll see if it keeps working now. 🤣

Yeah, I saw previous posts in this thread. I had the same problem (just the Open option after right clicking on the icon, and the image won't update regularly), that's why I tried to turn Spotlight collection on/off, but now it's stuck.

Even after turning it on again, the wallpaper didn't change. It remained the default one, and now I am stuck with it.

When I go to Background settings and choose Spotlight collection, nothing happens.

I tried restarting the computer, but that didn't work.
