The fixed suggest there does not work.

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-fix-windows-spotlight-stuck-same-image-windows-10Another version was How to fix Windows Spotlight Lock screen errors on Windows 10

Played around with this and put the resetting Spotlight settings in the middle. But no progress.

Microsoft has document Configure Windows Spotlight on the lock screen In Windows 10, version 1607, the lock screen background does not display if you disable the Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing setting in This PC > Properties > Advanced system settings > Performance settings > Visual Effects, or if you enable the Group Policy setting Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Desktop Windows Manager > Do not allow windows animations.

Checked the first and set the second to disable.

These policies are in the User Configuration \Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Cloud Content path in the Group Policy Management Console, and in the User Configuration \Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Cloud Content path in the Local Group Policy Editor.

Nothing in Cloud Content is enabled. The Do not allow windows animations was change to disable earlier.

In addition to the specific policy settings for Windows Spotlight, administrators can replace Windows Spotlight with a selected image using the Group Policy setting Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Force a specific default lock screen image (Windows 10 Enterprise and Education).

Again nothing is configured.
