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.

    Seems to change every day! Now there is not even the default Whitehaven picture, it shows a black screen here.

    After rebooting it goes back to Picture, it doesn't even save the Spotlight setting. 😒

    So far it has worked faultlessly for me.

    Hi,

    Try changing the Background Personalization to the different options and then go back to Spotlight, it may break for you too.

    The only machine where it seemed to work correctly was one where I did a clean install of 22518, or created additional new User accounts on a machine that was updated to 22518 from previous Builds.

    Seems to work better on an old non-compliant machine.

    This had the Whitehaven picture for 2 days, now it populated the collection and shows yet another menu.

    Note that there is no more option to switch to the next picture in this menu.

    Spotlight collection works correctly creating a new user account when already up to build 22523.

    This one got the correct menu and the option to go through 5 different picture from the collection.

    It looks like the problems are on accounts that were existing on previous builds before updating to 22518 or 22523.

    This one was fine also after reboots.

    My old user account got the collection back too, but the menu missing the 1st option, seems like they are testing a different variant? I sure prefer the option where it lets me switch to next picture. 😉

    One user account with the full menu and the other user account with a missing option. Why?

    Did a few more experiments and things seem a little different from build 22518:

    1. If I dislike all the picture from the collection it shows up with the default Whitehaven picture again and the menu disappears completely with 22523.
    2. If there is only one picture left in the collection that I liked (or did not dislike) then the menu changes to the second one above, without the option to switch to the next picture.

    The behavior seems to make a little more sense, but it is still confusing and messy.

    Also, the settings for Spotlight may change back to Picture after a Restart and that does not make any sense?
