Windows Spotlight image stuck

Windows Spotlight image stuck

If, like me, you are sick and tired of this picture on your Windows locksckreen, and your WIndows Spotlight is not working, that we have a simple solution for you. Windows Spotlight was designed to give you new pictures every day, and you can select what you like or dislike and every new picture should fit your tastes better. Great idea, but… Windows Spotlight is not working very often, stucking at one and the same picture. Usually this one. Here is a simple solution for you.



 

Windows spotlight 01 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

First of all we need to turn Windows Spotlight off.

Go to your desktop and right click on any free space there. Then choose option Personalization.

Windows spotlight 02 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

Under personalization click on Lock Screen section. Under dropdown menu where it says Windows Spotlight and change it to Picture.

Windows spotlight 03 1 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

Now, when Windows Spotlight is turned off, we can delete those files with the stuck image that millions already hate.

To do that go to windows explorer and navigate to the following address

C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_\Settings

Windows spotlight 04 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

Windows spotlight 05 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

Windows spotlight 06 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

In settings folder delete all files.



 

Windows spotlight 07 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

Now let’s turn Windows Spotlight on again. Right click on the desktop and choose personalization, then go to Lock Screen.

Windows spotlight 08 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

Change dropdown back to Windows Spotlight.

Windows spotlight 09 — Windows Spotlight image stuck

In few minutes try to lock your screen and you will see totally new image. In some time there will be a different one and so on and so on.

Unfortunately this is a Windows 10 bug and some point that specific totally hated image will stuck again. But now you know how to fix this problem.
