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?

Hi Jason, thank you - do you mean log a support ticket? Or is there a specific place I need to go to, to report the bug?

Please open a support ticket and be specific with how you are changing your wallpaper (via GP, MDM, etc.) The change should not happen with managed wallpaper.
Please DM me with any responses you receive.

One clarification - the default wallpaper WILL change to Spotlight. It shouldn't change if you are choosing (or policy has set) a different wallpaper.
