    FYI, Windows Spotlight a.k.a Spotlight Collection is an excellent feature that downloads stunning images from Microsoft Server curated by Bing. It allows users to set different desktop backgrounds daily for PC lock screen and desktop.

    As of now, if you Set Spotlight as Desktop Background in Windows 11, it wasn’t clear whether you’ve set Windows Spotlight or not because there’s no identifier to confirm this thing.

    With the intention to make this feature more accessible, the company testing a new Windows Spotlight theme that can be easily identified by a camera icon. It appears under Settings > Personalization > Background or Themes.

    Once you get the message Successfully get feature configuration, then you need to either Restart or Sign out of your device to apply the changes.

    On the desktop, you will find a Camera icon. If you don’t like the current background, you can right-click on it and select Next picture.
