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 fg,

    Confirm same behavior. All was working well, never deleted any pic. Today showing same menu as you now, nothing 🤣

    Hi Johnny,

    Thanks for confirming.

    What I noticed was that the Spotlight collection pictures for the background were stored in the same location where Windows Spotlight is storing the Lock Screen pictures. When the Windows Spotlight picture were updated for the Lock Screen the Background collection disappeared.

    It looks to me that the 2 features are stepping on each other toes. 😉

    When the Background Spotlight Collection was working the pictures were in the location below together with the Lock Screen pictures. They disappeared as soon as the Lock Screen pictures were updated.

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

    I gave up on Spotlight and went back to Bing Daily Wallpaper which is basically the same as Spotlight anyway.
    Edit: Sometimes Bing Daily Wallpaper is advertised at the top of this forum. Also, Bing has an unlimited supply of pictures.

    @hawkeys46,

    I'm just testing the new insider features and reporting the bugs. I know there are other ways to get a picture in the background, but that is not the point, nor the purpose of insider testing. 😎

    Yes, it is a bug, and we have reported it, but I don't want to wait until 1/6 or so for our next Insider Dev build, so that is why I have changed it to Bing for now. 😎👌

    Still no Spotlight Collection on any of my machines on 12/11/2021. It also disappeared on the ones that previously had it.

    Now just the default Whitehaven picture and incomplete right click menu.
