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.

    Spotlight collection appears to be working properly in Build 22538

    @J W Stuart,

    Also, I got the collection back on 2 machines out of 3, this one still has just the default Whitehaven picture and no menu to switch to the next picture.

    Here we go again.

    This is another case now with build 22538.1000, the spotlight collection was back yesterday, but only lasted one day.

    Now this box is back to the default Whitehaven picture.

    Why is it so difficult to fix these silly bugs?

    This saga started on Dec 8,2021 and we are now on Jan 20, 2022.

    Right now, I have only one machine that still has the collection, but I'm sure it will disappear on that too like it did for over a month now.

    It is not a coincidence that the collection for the background pictures is lost every time there is an update of the Lock screen pictures in Windows spotlight.

    Edit:

    Just waited 30 minutes more and the Spotlight collection disappeared also on the second desktop.

    This behavior is really ridiculous.

    Hi Sumit,

    Thanks for confirming.

    It looks to me that the 2 features "Windows Spotlight" for the Lock Screen and "Spotlight collection" for the Background pictures are just stepping on each other.

    They use the same assets folder of the user to store and update the pictures.

    When there is an update of the pictures for the Lock Screen the Spotlight collection gets screwed up and disappears, then they revert back to the default Whitehaven picture without the menu to switch thru the collection for the Background.

    "When there is an update of the pictures for the Lock Screen the Spotlight collection gets screwed up and disappears, then they revert back to the default Whitehaven picture without the menu to switch thru the collection for the Background."

    I noticed that "link" between those features on 12/14/2021 and since then I haven't use that new Spotlight collection on background image. (My reply in page 5)

    > Turn on that new Spotlight collection.

    > Some time later Spotlight collection get first pictures -->

    > Lock/ Sign-in screen background reset to default picture.
