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.

Sadly, no new Widgets or Spotlight here yet.
Head's up!! If you don't see the new Spotlight
Collection, reboot.

New problem, this machine had the Spotlight Collection for the background for 2 days.
When Windows Spotlight changed the picture for the lock screen the background collection disappeared and it went back to the default Whitehaven Beach picture and menu. 🤔
Edit:
The same happened on a second Laptop after updating to 22518.1012, the Spotlight collection for the Background picture just disappeared and got the above menu with the default Whitehaven picture. This also had a new Lock screen picture from Windows spotlight, it looks like the pictures are stored in the same place, but it is unclear how the Lock Screen pictures interact with the Background pictures collection.
Any clue?
I now have 3 PC's which had the collection at some point, but now it is gone. This new feature seems quite unpredictable. 🤔
I did a clean install of 22518.1000 on a laptop. I did not have Spotlight collection at first, but it populated about 20 minutes later adding 5 pictures to the collection and also the corresponding menu.
I then clicked "Not a fan of this picture" and it discarded just that one, but kept the other 4 and the menu to switch was still available.
This one behaved more like I was expecting.
It did not go back to the default picture and menu. 😊
I had to click "Not a fan of this picture" for all 5, before it went back to the default picture and menu.
I never get the chance to dismiss 3 but whatever...
It should at least leave the pictures that I said I like and get rid of the one I said "I'm not a fan of"
Why get rid of all?
B.T.W.
The number of selectable pictures in the collection is different depending on the Screen Resolution.
I have seen 4 pictures for FHD screen, but only 3 for UHD.
