Background Windows Spotlight just turned to Picture on it's own without any user intervention and now it's not working properly anymore. 🤷‍♂️

After a while, now it won't even stay selected on Spotlight and returns to Picture on its own.

Hi Sibro,

Looks like on the 1st post you have an old Variant or no Variant. There are 3 features enabled for this. 😎

Looks like the case you showed on VM, but not the last one on your Clean Install. 😎🤣

It is weird that the pictures keep changing so often.

I get a new set of 4 every 15 minutes. Once a day would be more that enough. 🤣🤣

Hi fg,

I don't understand why both clean installs of 25290 (laptop and VM) are messed up, but the updated ones are working perfectly like the previous 25290 and this 25284 VM. 🤷‍♂️

In reply to deleted message

I'm not worry about variations in appearance, is the screen flashes, missing photos and the menu covering the taskbar that bothers me. Can't you see that in the animations?
