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 am having this same issue.  I can get it to work by messing around deleting settings.dat file flipping back and forth but the problem is it does not work for new accounts on an imaged computer.  You have to mess around with it.  

    I would love for spotlight to be working on my sysprep imaged so all users get it.

    Same issue for me ! it was working till now.

    I used to make images and clone my SSD to check some settings, needed to activate windows again. and suddenly it stopped working.  I can't remember when it stopped working.

    What is the fix ???

    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.
