I fixed the issue both on my laptop and desktop instantly. I tried first the deleting the 2 files and then all assets and re re registr the app but didn't work on both.
then I tried
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
and the issue was fixed instanlty after a restart.
I've tried to run DISM about three weeks ago, I've tried to run it with fresh downloaded copy windows.iso as Source also. No observable result. Tried to run it again today (black magic?), does not work either. No problem found during DISM run.
I thought I would update my situation even though It doesn't look like it will be much help as I think you have already attempted these steps: I believe the following is the sequence of trouble shooting steps I took:
- First, I attempted Fix 1 and Fix 2 in this link. Didn't work.
- The next step for me was Re-registering Windows Spotlight. Didn't work.
- Finally, I went into: Settings panel > Personalization > Lock Screen. Under the Backgroundoption, choose Picture and set a picture as default lock screen background. I then navigated to: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_<characters>\Settings
I then deleted the roaming.lock and settings.datfiles. Lastly, I returned the default lock screen setting back to Windows Spotlight. Bingo! that was what fixed it for me.
Been working ever since.... essentially since my last post. Hopefully it will continue.
