It looks like Edge running in the background is being disabled somehow but there isn't an option to enable it from the Settings > Privacy > Background aps - So manually enabling it in the registry seems to have worked for me.

system: 1 Build 19041 (Windows 10 Pro),.

In order to get Windows Spotlight again? Or resetting the Windows is the only way here?

reinstall Windows Spotlight feature va PowerShell (completed),.

clear Windows Spotlight cache (completed),.

enable Microsoft Edge as a background process (failed),.

Yet, I still see the same image each time I hit lock screen in my Windows 10. Which would suggest (?) that my Windows Spotlight is actually working and Bing / Microsoft Edge is actually downloading new images. And after computer restart I have noticed that this cache is again full of images. Especially the third one about clearing Windows Spotlight cache. In addition, I have also followed all other rules.

What can I do to bring it back to this list?

Make sure that the setting for Microsoft Edge is turned on.īecause I don't have Microsoft Edge listed among apps that can run in background:.

Click it to open this Settings’ section or hit Enter to confirm.

Type back to see Background apps search result.

However I failed at the very first step (second, after Windows Update) which says: I searched the Internet in attempt to resolve this issue and found this quite valuable article. Suddenly my Windows Spotlight stopped working.
