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.

    Hi Johnny,

    This may be interesting as a workaround.

    I found out that if I create a new user account (Can be a local account) then the Spotlight collection for the Background wallpaper populates pretty quickly (within 30 minutes) after selecting Spotlight.

    After I saw that, I deleted the original user account that lost the collection and recreated it, I got back the collection in the next 30 minutes.

    From what I saw, this feature seems to work correctly only on newly created user accounts not on accounts that existed before upgrading to 22518. 🤔

    Edit:

    As of 12/13/2021 the new User accounts created after updating to 22518, have maintained the Spotlight Collection for the Background picture. We'll see if they last or if it is just another coincidence. 😎

    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.

    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.

    I have filed a feedback regarding this: https://aka.ms/AAf50r9

    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.

    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. 😒
