  1. Windows Spotlight / Windows à la une


    Good morning, For the past 2 or 3 weeks, the “Windows Spotlight” desktop background customization option no longer works. This gives me a still image, and if I right click on "Learn more about this image" the desktop icon, I have 4 images offered. Always the same. It worked very well until now. Is it the KB5048667 update that can cause this problem? Thank you.Bonjour, Depuis 2 ou 3 semaines, l'option de personnalisation de l'arrière-plan du bureau "Windows à la une" ne fonctionne plus. Cela me met une image fixe, et si je fais un clic droit sur "En savoir plus sur cette image" l'icône

    Hi Leland,

    Windows Spotlight is a nifty feature in Windows 10. It can downloads pictures and advertisements from Bing and then displays them on your lock screen. Besides, you can mark whether you wish to see more or less images of a similar type.

    To sort out your concern, simply follow the steps provided below:

    • Go to privacy settings:
    • Background apps turn on
    • For spottlight setting app must be on.
    • You can now use spottlight in personalisation tab.

    We also suggest to re-register your Windows Spotlight by following the steps provided by
    Kapil Arya MVP on this
    link
    .

    Should you need further information, don't hesitate to contact us.

    Regards.
