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?

If the Spotlight wallpapers are working, only the desktop icon is missing, you may create a new folder on your desktop, and name it "Learn about this picture.{2cc5ca98-6485-489a-920e-b3e88a6ccce3}". It is not an elegant solution, as originally this folder is not created in the filesystem, but the result will be (almost) the same. The drawback is - when you disable Spotlight, the icon won't disappear, you will have to remove it manually (delete the folder).
