Windows Spotlight Not Working Win 10
Hello everyone. I just joined this forum in hopes I can actually get a question answered that no one seems to be able to do. I have been given many solutions but all of them do not work. I have a 2019 Alienware 17 with an i9 processor and 32GB RAM.
I have used Windows Spotlight for a few years and occasionally had it stop working after I had the gall to click on "Not A Fan" on 2 pictures in one day! I always used the solution where you delete the picture files and rename the 2 registry entries. Solution below.

It worked each time. But about a week ago Spotlight just completely stopped working and it wasn't due to anything I did. I needed to do a reimage and so I just did. Then reimage was a deep reset wiping the drive and getting rid of all setting and files. I did every update and have a very solid and stable image.
When I went to set up Windows Spotlight is selected but still isn't working at all. There is just that same stock picture that it had before the reimage. Once again I went through the same procedure as above and also was given several other methods to restore and it still will do nothing. This is the string that I was on and all the things I tried.

Needless to say I am beyond frustrated. Did MS make some change in an update that messed this feature up? Any solutions?
