Windows Spotlights: Lockscreen Turns Automatically Into Image

    Since a few a weeks my settings in Lockscreen changes automatically from windows-spotligts into an image. I have looked arround the internet but i've not founded a solution. The things i've tried many times:
    1) lockscreen into image
    2) the folders assets: files delete
    3) the folder settings: renamed setting.bak and roaming.lock
    4) powershell renewed

    Result: windows-spotlight works again but after 1 day (i guess when there's a refreshing of the spotlights) the lockscreen turns into an image again.

    Can someone help me? Kind regards

    I want spotlight permanently. Now I have to change the settings daily. That's the problem

    Then you'll have to put up with changing the settings daily because the program will always revert to images because that is how the program is written.

    Are you running any of the win 10 privacy programs like O&O ShutUp10?
    I know one of the recommended settings on ShutUp10 is Lockscreen - Disable Windows Spotlight.

    set restore point first.

    set ‘picture’ in lock screen

    1st power shaell cmd

    del /f /s /q /a "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets"


    second command

    del /f /s /q /a "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\Settings"


    Last PowerShell command line: completes the fix Do the paste twice

    $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *ContentDeliveryManager*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest
