Mine wasn't stuck on a spotlight just showed a default blue background and at first I was worried it didn't work, then a few seconds passed and it worked. Thank you so much ur a legend!
Good to hear
same case
same situation. good thing we found this video👍
Yassss it happened to me too
at what step it was removed?
Thank you very much, it worked perfectly! Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I've been missing these great pictures for weeks. And now, I can admire them again, before I start working. You made me very happy. :D
OMG, i had an ugly picture in my lock screen for almost a month, and now, you helped me to change it, thank you very much, in my case, i was upset till i finish the step 5 ♥
Thank you so much! I have been trying to get this fixed for the past month. I did everything you said, and nothing worked until I did the Dynamic Theme download and that fixed the problem!
Thank you so much! My lock screen was stuck on a depressing blue background after the update from windows 10, I was disheartened, so happy this worked !
Worked perfectly, thank you! After resetting my PC, it stayed the default blue for a few minutes then went back to normal Spotlight pictures on its own.
Great to hear!
I can't thank you enough, perfectly removed the bug, exactly what i wanted
Glad I could help
The procedure didn't fix the problem until I reached the second to last step, re-registering Spotlight using PowerShell. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to copy the PowerShell command shown in the video and paste it into my PowerShell window (be sure to look carefully at the screenshot of the PowerShell window; get spaces and formatting characters, e.g., -, |, {, _, etc., in the right place). Despite this challenge, the problem was fixed and I am MOST grateful. I was getting tired of seeing the same picture even though quite beautiful. Thanks very much!
Thanks for posting! What finally resolved the issue was running the powershell command to re-register Spotlight. Returned to normal after rebooting. I believe what triggers this issue in Win 11 Pro is multi-user login, that seems to throw spotlight off the lock screen when different users are logging into the same PC.
How did you copy and paste the command into the command box? Because I could not
@@briantravelman copy the command from wherever, then open up a Terminal (Admin) prompt, right-click to paste the command. Should work whether you're using a powershell CLI or plain old Windows terminal. You have to be signed in as an admin to the terminal or powershell command prompt in Windows.
Thank you so much. I had to do Step 5. It almost worked with Step 4. The first time I tried to delete the content delivery manager Assets folder, the right click made a pop up to say I can't open the folder...so I used the trash icon on top of the page. Proceeded to delete Settings folder and restarted. Still got the blue wavy page.
Then I did Step 4 again, and this time when I right click to delete, the window to delete like yours finally appeared. Then I proceeded with the steps, and then I forgot that my Lockscreen was still on Windows Spotlight. So I switch to Picture and restarted.
I got black screen now, on Spotlight, but with the words on center and top left and right corners as if there was picture.
Then I repeated Step 4 again, and blue page came back...
Finally I did step 5 and all is well :))
Hope I did not do any damage to my computer doing Step 4 so many times
Thank you so much. I tried to do so many things with my limited computer knowledge as well as solutions I could find on the internet and nothing worked. I thought it was because I was doing something incorrectly. Turns out, it was not as your instructions were so clear and easy to follow. After following through all your processes, dynamic theme turned out to be the only thing that worked but hey, at least something worked and now I can enjoy getting new pictures daily again.
You're welcome!
For me even dynamic theme wont work... (windows 10)
Thank you, Aarohan!! I really appreciate it. Windows Spotlight is one of my favorite features!! I'm a desktop person. This problem has been evident to me in Windows 10 and Windows 11. I just upgraded to Windows 11 with my desktop pc. I followed all of your steps. I didn't have to use Step #6.
You're very welcome!
My new laptop got this bug after updated to Win 11. The last step solved my problem after 1 - 5 failed. Thank you so much 😍😍
You're very welcome!
Aarohan your video is excelent, solved my problem. My Dell Notebook came with Windows 10 and along the way, the lock screen stopped to change since it doesn't accept the change to Windows Spotlight in the configuration settings. Migration to Windows 11 didn't fix the problem as well. Today I followed the steps you clearly described and finally step 6 fixed the problem. Thank you so much for your expertise!!
Thank you so much for the appreciation!
Thanks man! had to wait an entire year (recently updated my PC to windows 11 2022 version since one year of purchase). After update I tried the *step 4* you mentioned, and finally its working!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you! I originally tried Step 5 first but that did not work. In the end, Step 4 worked for me! Appreciate the help!
Glad it helped!
It didn't work till step 5. But the new app is okay for now.
Dynamic theme worked for me! It also gives you the option to remove the annoying text text that the normal spotlight overlays on the images.
thank you so much, mine started working after step 5! I've tried different tutorials before, but nothing worked for me, but yours made it work right away. THANK YOU👏
Great to hear!
thank you so much this was really helpful
cause i was jealous of my friends who didn't have this problem but not i am so happy! also i will recommend that you use the last solution as the first cause after watching through that was what helped me
I just hit sync time and boom it’s working, thank you!
Tried various internet fixes....this is the ONE! Thank You!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! My God you really don't realise how much you miss something until you lose it. I hated having the blue wave screen. i don't know why my computer updated itself. and people were asking microsoft how to get it back but their instructions all didn't work. I tried all your methods, but only the last one worked where i had to get Dynamic Theme app. so happy now. Thank you for being so clear with your instructions
Thank you very much! The Last windows update on 30.10.2021 messed up the lock screen picture.
Steps 1-5 Failed. step 6 helped!
You are welcome!
Thanks a lot! I had this problem for months and your tutorial helped me fix it. It worked after step 4
You're welcome!
Step 5 finally solved the issue for me. Thank you so much.
The PowerShell tip worked like a charm!!! thank you so much!
Thank you so much. I didn't have the problem until after the most recent Win 11 security update. I had to go to step 5, reregister Spotlight, but that worked.
You're welcome!
Step 5 Worked for me. Thank you!
thank you very much for your instructions, they were very clear and easy to follow. I just did it, and it works perfectly. Thanks :)
Thank you, at first it wasn't deleting one of the files in the settings folder, so I restarted, and then I was able to delete it. It worked after that, so I went as far as step 4. Thank you!!!

Solved a problem that I couldn't find a solution to on any Microsoft site. Thanks!
All the steps didn't work for me! But Dynamic Theme is great, thanks bro!
It would be great if one day we could change the black background on "shut down" and "restarting" screens...
Thanks! the last one is the only one that works and it was a third-party app. When windows going to fix this issue smh😑
i directly follow the powershell method and yes it worked for me, after this method please wait for atleast 3 min so it can be refreshed

Mine didnt work. Still the blue image. Only change to the selected picture if in Lock or Sleep mode
It doesn't work, I have no files at Microsoft Commander and Windows Powershell says "error"
Go straight to step 6, DYNAMIC THEME! That did it for me
Thanks friend. Its resolved the issue.
Thank you! The last step worked for me :)
You're welcome!
Thank yo, Sir! I have Windows 11... sht... only step 5 helped))) Great thanks for the very detailed explanations - credits!
You're welcome!
I had to replace my laptop, it's the same company and Windows but slighlt different model. My previous one did it automatically, but this one keeps givng me the ugly blue background, and as a geoagrapher and travelman, I really enjoyed having the random landscapes with information.
I followed your steps, and the first set of Files you said to delete, I didn't even have those. And for the second pair, one of them wouldn't delete because it said it was open in another system. Step number 5 was very complicated for me, and I couldn't figure out how to Paste the command into the box.
I'm attempting Step Number 6 right now, but for some reason my WiFi is running SO SLOW! But I will try Step Number 6, and if it doesnt work, I'll just use the sunset picture they have. Thanks anyways! There's a reason you guys rank Number 1 in tech support!😂
Thank you sooooo much! Step 5 is what worked for me! great video :)
issue got resolved. good job man
my lock screen is just plain black now?… i’ve tried everything on this list and it just seemed to make it worse… it was originally stuck on the spotlight image but after trying step 4 it’s just stuck on a black screen with nothing but the time. how should i fix this?
It worked in step 5
Thank you so much
You're welcome!
Thank you. The last one finally fixed it.
You're welcome!
Hi Aarohan, thank you for sharing. I recently had my laptop fixed and the technician did a system reset. Prior to the reset, Windows spotlight worked correctly. The last step worked you shared worked, however the only difference I see is that it doesn't give me the option to like the photo or show a description of the locked screen image like before. I'm wondering if this more of a Bing option. Thank you for sharing.
It's worked at step 5, thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
thank you aarohan, lol, only last thing worked for me, but you did a good work in the video
You are welcome!
This video is very helpful, I've the same issue and 5th step was worked, thank u🤟

Thank you so much 😊😊😊 it's really worked 🙏🙏🙏
Thank so much, step 5 is working for me
Thank you in my case powershell method works very well
You're welcome!
What if you just go into the source folder and change the photo there, then rename it? Doesn't work. It's like there is some other place holding that default photo for the lockscreen. it was the same with 21h2
Thank you so much. last one worked for me .after doing 1st 4 steps i gave away. what a bug.
Glad it helped
Dynamic theme helped Thanks bro
