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

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?
