Question Picture on Welcome Screen never changes ?

[Cpt Snake]

For years, I would get a new picture everyday from MS at the startup screen where you enter your Pin Number. Then after the last update on March 16th, I no longer get a new picture. It's the same one everyday. How do I fix it? Thanks

Personalize your lock screen.
Set background to windows spotlight.

Thanks, I think that it is setup correctly, but nothing happens.???? It appears just as the example.

If you have de-bloated windows or turned off features, this will happen

O&O also shuts it off.

you can run a power shell script that will reregister everything and if that doesn’t fix it, you must’ve done something to your os

Reset and Re-register Windows Spotlight in Windows 11 Tutorial

In Windows 11, you can have Windows Spotlight display different background images on your desktop and lock screen, and occasionally offers suggestions on the lock screen. If Windows Spotlights stops working and/or stops changing the background image, you can reset and re-register Windows...

So if you’re a privacy freak, and you’ve shut off communication between applications and all that stuff and tweak to the OS, then you might have caused your own problems

Well, I don't know what's going on with the OS. I run Glary Utilities every day, sf/scannow weekly in the command mode, defrag every couple of weeks. Go figure computers. Thanks No big deal, just curious. Also, I have windows ten not eleven., so the fix won't help me. I found this following your lead. I'll try it later when I wake up. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...changing/a1d4ba42-6952-4724-a25e-2002eb650b45

Computers are so weird. I tried everything above, but nothing worked so I gave up. Then to day after a week, it decided to change the picture. Crazy

And something like this is worth your time troubleshooting?
