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.

2021-12-31T02:40:59+00:00 I have been using Spotlight for a few days, but today it completely disappeared. The old Spotlight from a few years ago by a third party is in the Windows Store for download, but it does not work right either. Not going to do a clean install just to get it back (or not) so I will go back to the Bing Wallpaper which has no issues. Happy New Year! 🥴🌧️🌧️
Hi,
I just tried this app below from the store and still works with Dev Build 22523, but I'm not really interested on an extra app, just trying to see how long MS will take to fix their new "Not so fancy feature". 🤣
Happy New Year!
This one did not work so well for me, but you are correct that MS should get it right.

2021-12-28T02:08:15+00:00 Having the same problem here on SP7, tried three times now but it even goes back to picture or the spotlight icon disappears when refreshing the desktop.
I can't get or move on to the next picture.
Hi,
I just gave it another try on a clean install on Build 22523, the spotlight collection came up in a matter of a few minutes from the time I selected Spotlight collection in Settings Background. I can switch to 5 different pictures.
I verified the same thing a few days ago, on a clean install it always seems to work correctly, the problem is that is does not last, it may disappear the next day.
Also, it never seems to work correctly on a machine updated from previous builds. The interactive menus on the icon also keep changing. Very inconsistent results.
We'll see what happens on next build. 🤷♂️
