On a clean install VM
MS gave me the pictures and icon but I had to give up the new Explorer in exchange. 🤣🤣🤣
After a restart it's back to normal. 🤷♂️

Some weird behavior here, I don't think this is by design.��♂️
Anyone else seeing this?

2023-03-03T02:17:55+00:00 I rebooted and changed the setting from Picture to Spotlight the background got a picture, but I cannot find the Icon with the menu anywhere on the desktop. 😎🤷♂️
I've tried that several times plus lots of troubleshooting and get nothing, I haven't seen the icon either.
I just checked a third system Still at 25300, they reverted to the old menu already before updating to 25309. 🤷♂️

Back to the original U.I. 😉
It sure looks that way. 😁
I'm not getting the original, in fact I'm not getting any spotlight at all. 🤷♂️

I just did a second update on another system, and I'm not seeing it there either. It also screwed up my desktop twice now after a reboot. 🤬
I'm trying to see what is going on.
