Windows 10 Spotlight - Strange behavior after Fall Creators Update

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 ran the command with my local admin account, no errors. Checked the package folder on my domain username and, as i mentioned, there is no Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager folder created. it's like it doesnt see the domain user. I even tried to change the command to only domain\username, same results

    You have a number of options:

    • Try again, delete the entire ContentDeliveryManager folder / restart your machine > reinstall the folder: (run using Powershell as Admin)  Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}   Of course Edge and Settings are set to ON in Privacy Settings.  Click Win Key + L to check if Spotlight is working.
    • If possible, compare the setup on a comparable machine that runs Spotlight "...normally."
    • Last Restore: Upgrade win 10 pro without losing programs or files.  Sometimes this works like for restoring the ability to change the Account Picture.

    That's all the suggestions I have....
