Spotlight Collection on 225XX

Hi C.K.,

This was my original FBH report on this bug, and a comment on the second report below.

I already reported that the 2 features were stepping on each other. 😉

Here is a sample of both working together.

FG, are the Spotlight option for the Lock screen

and Spotlight Collection for Background conflicting?

I don't use Spotlight on Lock screen and Spotlight

Collection has been working well.

Just putting my 2 cents in, not saying that what you

are seeing isn't a bug.

Hi C.K.

Yes, the Windows Spotlight for the Lock screen and the Spotlight collection for the background are conflicting and stepping on each other. When they update the Lock screen pictures, they mess up or delete the Collection for the background.

Today the 2 updates happened in sync and that is why now it is working, but next time they update the Lock screen it will screw up again unless they do both updates in sync.

This problem has been happening from the beginning, but apparently the guys at MS don't talk to each other. 😉

And yes, I use both Windows Spotlight for the Lock screen and Spotlight collection for the background. (Or at least I try to!)

Not very successfully, I must add. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The 2 features are not mutually exclusive, both can be selected, and they should work together without any conflict.

Hi Sibro,

Here we go again, today the collection showed up again with 5 new pictures.

We'll see how long it will last this time. 😎

Hi fg,

I'm quite happy using Dynamic Theme.

Will follow your progress reports and when/if this feature ever works reliably I'd try again.

Regards.

Hi Sibro,

That is fine.

One reason I'm on insider channels is that I'm just trying to test the new stuff the MS is throwing out and report the bugs before they go G.A.

I'm not impressed, it seems to take forever to fix any bug recently. 🤣

I'm in for the same reason but don't like to spend as much time as you do on features that don't even work.

edit: you have the advantage of having several test devices but I can't afford to use faulty apps or features on my daily driver. In this case for example, I don't like my desktop to be stuck on one picture or no picture at all for the sake of testing.
