The option is not avalable at the LockScreen personalization

is the machine a work pc? or administered and controlled by someone else? Some settings can be disabled by management for work pcs

The PC is a standalone computer and I'm a full administrator of it. So it is not desibled by someone.

Thank you for joining

So when you go to settings > personalisation > lockscreen > under background there's no option for spotlight?

Hi you have to click on it to see the options!:wink:

Which build? IIRC, 10240 did not ship with Spotlight for the Pro edition. If it's either 10586 or 14393, you should have it. Unless, of course, it was never available for the N editions.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

As I understand N version is without Media Player and Media Center. Obviously it is also without Spotlight, i Think.

Media Centre has been discontinued. Looks like Spotlight is not available for N editions then.

See if there's anything here that can help:

Download " Dynamic Theme" app from windows store. Then open the apps, click on "lock screen" and choose "windows spotlight"

Yes, N is without Spotlight (or it is disabled somehow). The task is to enable it or add it to the system.

Using the ling above I'd manage to disable the ability to change the option between Picture and Slideshow just to enable this in group policy:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Cloud Content\Configure Spotlight on lock screen

No spotlight yet

Works well. Thanks! But this is not true Windows feature. I'm looking an option how to enable/transfer original windows feature to N edition...
