Windows Spotlight Wont Work

[Dominik W]

So my Windows Spotlight was stuck on a picture. So I looked it up how to fix it. It said to turn off Windows Spotlight, got to a specofoc folder and delete stuff, turn it back on and restart. I did everything correct, exept turn Windows Spotlight off before doing everything. And now I dont know what to do. And BTW, I deleted those files forever so I cant just restore.

Make sure that you have Windows Spotlight selected as your lock screen background. Afterward, open PowerShell as an administrator, paste and run the command listed below, and restart.

Get-AppxPackage -allusers *ContentDeliveryManager* | foreach {Add-AppxPackage "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode -register }

If you don't like an image, thumb it down, it will revert to another one. If it does not, it is because it can't access the server (busy or you don't have connect yet, or internet is slow to fetch the image, for example). You do this by simply hovering the mouse cursor on the lock/login screen to the camera icon (top right corner of the image), where it will show a box with  "Like what you see?" text, and short info on the image, and you can vote. Based on your votes, it picks styles you might like.

 

I don't know what you deleted, but assuming your Windows is fully updated you need to have the following folder structure:

• C:\Users\<account name>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets\

I know what you mean, but I deleted all the assets in the assets folder that you listed above. And it shows that black screen that i showed above, and when I choose Windows Spolight in the settings, and then I lock my computer, it shows a picture of bunnies.
