Windows 10 Spotlight - Strange behavior after Fall Creators Update

Anonymous

My setting for the Lock Screen was "Picture". I've tried to change it to "Windows Spotlight"  but after several seconds this setting is automatically re-set to "Picture" back?  Does this funcionality works?

    i solved this problem using Microsoft Media Creation Tool In-Place Upgrade.

    1/ Follow this link:

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

    and get part 6 "To do a repair install of Windows 10 with Media Creation Tool"

    • Remember to choose "Keep personal files and apps" to keep your files and apps.

    Login - change lock screen to windows spotlight - press Windows + L. It worked for me.

    2/ If it still doesn't work, you should go 1 step further.

    Reset and re-register Windows Spotlight follow this link:

    No need to delete item in "Assets" folder, just delete the "Settings". Restart your PC.

    Enjoy!

    Did you ever find a solution to this problem?  After allowing Windows to take its natural course and update to the latest Fall Creators Update, I immediately noticed my Windows Spotlight seems to be exhibiting the same behavior.  I have Windows Spotlight as an option, however I have a static picture, no change of background images at all.  I'm current on:  Windows Version 1709 OS Build 16299.64

    My Windows Update says YES.

    I'll try sugestions step by step. Of course, this funcionality is "nice to have" but I do not intend reinstall Windows with many hours of additionl installation work...
