win 1709 spotlight in lock screen
Mine is not working;is anyone else having the same issue?

Yes. Since 1709 mine regularly stops working for no apparent reason. Brink's tutorial fixes it every time...
Reset and Re-register Windows Spotlight in Windows 10
...though, to be honest, Spotlight has always been a bit 'fragile'.
There are other aspects of Spotlight that have improved in 1709. For instance, for the first time ever the Spotlight picture appears at boot up - previously it was always the default Windows picture (the cave up to 1703, a mountain lake in 1709).
I downloaded, ran and rebooted, twice to no avail.
Thanks anyway.
MS tech had me run upgrade to no avail. I will set it and wait it out.
Background is solid color and lock screen is picture. It is stuck on picture. I have run SFC, DISM, reinstalled Windows and run all the strings to clear out the folders.
I think Windows has a glitch b/c when I surf, many others have the same issue. I doubt it can be fixed on my end. No biggie but thanks anyway.
I am intrigued as to why most forums and members are from the U.K.
Do you know why?
I also have this issue. I'll try Brink's solution. I've already tried like 4 solutions from other websites.
edit: It seems to have worked. Not sure yet. The spotlight image is a new one but it still doesn't ask me if I like it or not like it used to before 1709 build.

I tried Brink's and 4 others and still spotlight will not function. Judging by the web, we are not the only ones.
I am done with it. M$ should fix it but I am not holding my breath.
I may recover an image to clear out all the clutter I have created.
