Advice Request My starting screen picture is still the same

[JB007]

Hello,
Windows 10 pro, I have this issue on 2 PC.
I just noticed that the picture of my starting screen never change since several weeks ?
I verified the parameters and they seem OK:

Select either 'Windows Spotlight' or 'Slideshow' in Background options. Selecting 'Picture' (or 'Image' in your screenshot) will keep the same lockscreen everyday.

Windows Spotlight on W10 has a history of breaking due to Windows Updates, etc. I used to be able to fix it using one of the several methods advised on many sites but since it broke about a month ago I haven't been able to.

I use the Dynamic Theme app from Christophe Lavalle to get the daily Bing images on my desktop and the spotlight images on my lock screen:

I found a few months ago that some start screens also have duplicates hidden, not just in Windows/web or pictures etc - This site explains where they are:
Ten Forums - I would certainly backup up before altering anything, worked for me that was in Windows 10, look at post 10, it's an old thread but nothing changed.

Yes @brambedkar59 the parameter change automatically when I select an other then "picture".
So I think that my "Windows spotlight" is broken like your @oldschool

It seems strange that the same trouble is occurring on two PCs. Is there a problem with your network connection?

I don't think because one is my work PC (desktop) and the other is also a desktop but at home.

What happens if I change the setting to Spotlight and restart immediately or log in again?

Changing to Picture or Slideshow, restart, change back to Windows Spotlight, restart and while waiting a few days to give the OS the time it needs to reset. The last part did it for me.

Or try one of these methods:
