Does anyone know why Windows Spotlight background/wallpaper has suddenly started running on Windows 11 computers (not just on our Intune managed company computers but my personal laptop too)? We have had a static image (the Windows Bloom) managed by policy, which has been set for years, but suddenly (as of the last few weeks) the background picture is auto-rotating to match the daily Spotlight image. When looking at the background settings it is still set to static Picture?

I've noticed this issue as well. The icon "learn more about this picture" also shows up on the desktop.

    A few others on another MS forum have noticed it too, so the issue does not appear to be just our company but will raise the support ticket to get the ball rolling 🙂
