Hot Take Wintoys Offers the Digital Markets Act for EU on Windows 11 for Any User

[SeriousHoax]

@SeriousHoax as I thought, it is not an error in Wintoys, Windows Spotlight doesn't work for EU.

Yeah, you are right. I didn't think of it as an error of Wintoys, I thought maybe something is wrong with setting EU in my region but turns out even users located in EU has this issue.

I don't use Windows Spotlight as it was always broken for me + has ads. I use Dynamic Theme which does exactly the same and you can choose between Windows Spotlight images or Bing images.

For those interested: Dynamic Theme - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store

I'm aware of this app and used it before for desktop wallpaper till Windows 11 gave us Spotlight also for desktop wallpapers. So, I haven't used it since.
But anyway, at the moment I don't have anything for which I would need DMA, so I've turned DMA off for now.

Update: immediately after setting Windows Spotlight for lock screen I got this picture. We'll see if it changes tomorrow as I don't see an option to update it.

It may take longer than a day to start changing, IIRC.

As of 14:42 CEST, I still have the same lock screen picture.

Update 22:35 CEST; no changes.

Could this be related to privacy in any way? Is windows spotlight has issues with privacy? I remember O&O ShutUp10++ recommended settings disable windows spotlight as it send data to Microsoft.
