Windows Spotlight Issue

Hello,

I was having trouble with the windows spotlight images cycling. At the login screen, it always showed the same one windows spotlight image. I followed this guide

How to fix Windows Spotlight Lock screen errors on Windows 10 | Windows Central

but it did NOT fix the issue. Now when I am at the login screen, I just have a blank blue background.

I did a system restore and it did not do anything in regards to the windows 10 spotlight or the files that the guide said to delete. Is there a way to fix this? I would appreciate a way to revert what the guide did. Thank you.

It can take 24-48 hours for the picture to change. Are there new files appearing under the Assets folder?
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalSta te\Assets

No, the guide that I linked to had me delete the files. No files are there. I did the guide a few weeks ago. So it has definitely been more than 24-48 hours. Thank you for your response.

Hello, and welcome to Ten Forums.

You can try the similar method in the tutorial below to see if it may help.

Reset and Re-register Windows Spotlight in Windows 10

If not, then you could try doing a repair install of Windows 10.

Hello. I appreciate the response. I am a bit skeptical about trying a different guide after the last guide I tried, the one I linked to, did not help and seemed to make the matter worse. I will try the guide you've linked to and hope for the best.

The guide you linked to worked. Thank you, Brink.

Update:

Unfortunately, now the pictures seem to have stopped cycling. The last few days it has been the same image. Why is that?

Never mind. It seems to be working again.
