    Windows Spotlight/Background Apps


    My Windows Spotlight stopped working, and after trying several of the online "fixes," my lock screen now appears as a solid color only. One site instructed me to turn on Microsoft Edge in my background apps, but the problem is it isn't listed. Is this why Spotlight isn't working? How do I fix this mess. I am running Windows 10. Thank you.

    Hi, have you ever removed Edge?

    My Windows Spotlight stopped working,
    Sometimes this might happen because there's a MS server issue. However, what you say above suggests something else may be amiss.

    N.B. after resetting Spotlight as Bree suggests, it may take several days (in my experience) before it starts working again.

    Please post a screenshot like this:
