Spotlight Collection on 225XX

It’s not that big of a deal. Just frustrating. I don’t want to have to move all of my documents and downloads. Setup my mail accounts, re enter passwords.

It’s too much of a hassle. Should be and probably is an easy fix. But if it is, no one is sharing.

@gamo62,

There are other ways you can find on the web, you may want to try those out. This below is one of those suggested:

Switch both Lock Screen and Background to Picture, then delete the contents of these 2 folders and reboot.

C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\Settings

C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets

After reboot set back Lock screen and Background to Windows Spotlight.

Those folders should repopulate, but it will take some time, from several minutes to a couple of days or when the next updates happen.

I am currently on 22579. Cannot get Spotlight to work with this build. Can’t even even select it as an option.

When I try. The photo is blank, and when I exit and return, it’s back to to picture.

I did create a new account, and it worked flawlessly.

Under the original account, I tried deleting all references to Spotlight and re registering it with Powershell. Rebooted and tried. Still unable to select it and have it stick.

I have contacted Windows Insider and North Face Hiker via Twitter, and both have been mum.

Now that permissions for App Background has been removed from Settings, I don’t know what else to try.

It isn’t a game changer, but it’s pretty nerve racking.

If it works fine on the new account, you may use the new account to delete and recreate the one that does not work.

I'm on build 22579 and has no more issues with Windows Spotlight for the background pictures and the Lock screen.

Both work fine on my 22579 machines.

Just finished upgrading from 22000.527 to 225676.100, Windows Spotlight works fine

It was working fine on build 22557 but for some reason it doesn't work anymore.

Back to Dynamic Themes app for now.
