    how do i find out what block or disabled windows spotlight or how do you see all dependencies like what it needs to work.
    or how do you catch a log of an specific app.?
    been trying for weeks but cant get it to work. i have run script to reset and reregister. i dont see it change. how do you tell it has downloaded new pictures.?

    I suggest you search for cloudcontent, spotlight and lockscreen to start with

    It's hard to know what you're actually looking for, but if it's not working Spotlight, then one of the most common reasons it won't work is to completely disable Background apps. If You have did so, enable them and and if there is nothing more damaged, it should work after restart.

    Why don't you ask about Slimdown 10?

    i have asked twice. i even quoted wkeller he did not replied . he did to other but not me.
    and because i also asked is there is way to find out why is not working.. just in in android that you use catlog and you select a app to collect logs.. am not a good reader but you could find a hint what is causing not to work.. not sure how this works on windows.. not sure if event logs reports it....also by asking that way you learn and try to fix stuff by yourself..

    location shoudnt mess with spotlight. Use Shutup10 and activate/deactivate/activate spotlight first. Also check those registry entries before using Shutup and after

    i just clean installed windows.. this time ive noticed 2 things. when i connected to internet the spotify and disney app that gets downloaded automatically didnt got downloaded i can only see big white arrows there.. the one window that shows when you click start.

    spotlight still on the big green mountain and a person wearing red on spotlight. will test a bit with o&o shut up..

    before i did clean install.. i checked the folder where pictures are and i did noticed only 1 of them beign new never seen before the rest i have
    not sure if it preloads pics already in the OS then downloads 1 new pic.

    its just that its so boring to see the same picture over and over.

    A- Didn't change anything.. ( check with winmerge)
    B- Modify your windows always come with risk ..
    I know it from personal...
    So unless you using backup...
    Don't run slim script... Test on vm
    If you happy from the changes.. apply on real machine
    If not .. change settings.. and try again

    deleting this line will show on lockscreen do you like what you see yes/no
    set RemoveTasks="Application Experience\AitAgent","Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser","Application Experience\ProgramDataUpdater","Application Experience\StartupAppTask"

    this line got it removed
    set RemoveTasks=%RemoveTasks%,"Customer Experience Improvement Program\Consolidator","Customer Experience Improvement Program\KernelCeipTask","Customer Experience Improvement Program\UsbCeip"

    and run a script for reset and reregister windows spotlight.. wil clean install again and leave it and ill see if it changes picture.
