Windows 10 spotlight

Question
-
Hi. Windows 10 spotlight only show me a mountain with a lake, it won't change. In my other account, windows 10 spotlight can show the picture, not the mountain one. I tried the solution from the internet, like powershell, and delete files and settings in "Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy" folder, but it won't change anything, still a mountain one.
Can anyone can help me?

Navigate to Personalization. Click on the Lock screen option. Locate the Background option. Change the settings and select Picture or Slideshow instead.

I agree with what's being said here. Upgrading to Windows 11 should sort out this problem for you. Spotlight on Windows 11 is essentially an improved version of its Windows 10 counterpart. They both download pictures from Bing daily and change your lockscreen whenever it is activated. But Windows 11 is better in my opinion. It can change the background on your desktop and is just, overall, a more robust program. It seems like the original poster tried all the Internet solutions. If you don't want to upgrade to Windows 11, fully update your Windows 10 devices and see if that works.

Just popping in here to add my contribution. Sometimes, I find that the best solution is often the most simple one. If anybody comes across here and is having a similar issue, always check your Internet connection. Don't forget, Windows Spotlight takes pictures from the web and displays them on your device. It can't do this if it doesn't have data or a solid connection. No matter what Windows 10 device you're using, look for your WIFI connection. Make sure your device is fully connected to it. You can always try turning it off and on to kickstart Spotlight.

My 2 cents: upgrade to Windows 11. I know a lot of responses here have been saying that, but I do think your best bet for success is having the most up-to-date software. It's a huge upgrade over Windows 10 and I'm sure you'll notice that a lot of the issues you're having with Spotlight are fixed. I'd also try Amanda's suggestion and make sure your internet connection is locked in, bug free and is performing at the top of its game. That's the main reason I can think of for why your Spotlight isn't working. Best of luck Kitchannel.
