If you’ve been using the Windows Spotlight feature on your Windows 10 computer, you may have noticed that sometimes the lock screen picture doesn’t change. If you’re experiencing this issue, don’t worry – there’s a simple fix for it.
First, open the Start menu and click on the settings gear icon. Then, select the Privacy tile and go to Background apps. Make sure that “Let apps run in the background” is turned on. Once you’ve confirmed this, click the back arrow and select the Personalization tile. From there, select Lock screen and make sure that Windows Spotlight is selected in the Background dropdown. This should resolve the problem.
If this doesn’t work, you can try selecting your network type and turning off “Metered connection” in the Network and Internet tile. If that still doesn’t work, try restarting your computer.
If none of these solutions fix the issue, you can try deleting the files in the Windows Spotlight folder. To do this, open the Start menu and type in “Run”. Click on the Run app and paste the path “%userprofile%AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewyLocalStateAssets” into the field. If you see any files in the folder, highlight them all and delete them. Then, restart your computer and go back into the Personalization settings to enable Windows Spotlight.
Hopefully, one of these solutions will fix the issue of your Windows 10 lock screen not showing a picture. It’s a simple problem with a simple solution, so don’t stress about it.
