Hello recently I reinstalled my windows and was using Windows spotlight for desktop but after 1 month icon is gone and when I reset windows spotlight it didn't help in recoverying windows spotlight desktop icon. Windows Spotiligh is working fine for lockscreen. I changed lockscreen windows spotlight to picture and desktop to picture then reset windows spotight after restarting my pc I changed desktop to windows spotlight neither it recovered windows spotlight icon nor downloading any files or changing in these directories I saw %USERPROFILE%/AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewySettings
%USERPROFILE%/AppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewyLocalStateAssets it looks like clicking windows spotlight for desktop doesn't effect nowhere
please kindly help thanks
I wasted my time too much and I don't want to reinstall the pc
Byeeee.

Windows Spotlight (desktop) still has problems at the moment, we are patiently waiting for the fix.
I was also only able to bring it back with a clean install.

We also talked about this here:
Windows Spotlight stopped working, anyone else?
