Windows Spotlight: what makes the picture change?
I have two Windows 10 Pro x64 machines. One is a desktop and another is a laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad). On both machines I work under a local administrative account. On both machines the 'Personalization - Lock Screen - Background' setting is set to "Windows spotlight". Both machines are constantly connected to Internet by an Ethernet connection.
At the end of the day, when I finish working on my desktop, I manually issue a 'Power - Sleep' command through the menu. Next morning I just wake it up, log in and continue working.
When I finish working on my laptop I just close the lid (which is set up to make it sleep). Next morning I open the lid, log in and continue working.
Both machines are set up to show the lock screen when coming out of sleep.
I observe that Windows spotlight images on lock screen constantly change on the desktop machine, which is apparently how it is supposed to be. But the lock screen image never changes on the laptop (the same "Lake and backpack" image every time). What could be the reason, the difference here? Why does my desktop change its Windows spotlight images, while my laptop does not?
