How to reset Windows Spotlight
If the Windows Spotlight feature is stuck on the same image, or it's not working at all, you can use the following steps to fix the issue:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Personalization.
3. Click on Lock screen.
4. Under "Background," make sure Windows Spotlight is NOT selected and change the option to Picture or Slideshow.

5. Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command.
6. Type the following path and click OK.

%USERPROFILE%/AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewyLocalStateAssets

7. Select all the files (Ctrl + A) and hit the Delete key to clear all old images (if applicable).

8. Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command again.
9. Type the following path to where the Windows Spotlight settings are stored and click OK.

%USERPROFILE%/AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewySettings

10. Right-click settings.dat and roaming.lock individually, then click Rename and name them settings.dat.bak and roaming.lock.bak.

11. Restart your computer.
12. Open Settings.
13. Click on Personalization.
14. Click on Lock screen.
15. Under "Background," make sure to enable Windows Spotlight.

Once you complete these steps, you can lock your PC (Windows key + L), and the Lock screen should show new Bing images.

If everything worked as expected, remember to go back to the Settings folders where Windows Spotlight stores the settings and delete the settings.dat.bak and roaming.lock.bak files.

7. Enter the following command and press Enter to reset the Windows Spotlight:
