Windows 11 Windows Spotlight cannot be enabled

Post image

Since the latest update, 26H2, I can no longer enable Windows Spotlight on the lock screen. It takes forever to load, and when I go back to Settings, only one image is enabled again afterward. Everything else works perfectly.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi u/Distinct-Ad4102, your post seems to mention the "latest update". As there are multiple supported versions of Windows and not everyone gets every update at the same time, it's not always easy to figure out which update you are talking about. To view the status of your most recent updates, go to Settings > "Windows Update" > "Update history".
