After using this I'm unable to set "spotlight" for my lockscreen

[phere-x]

Only noticed it missing after using iwr -useb https://christitus.com/win | iex and maybe only tweaking "preferences" section, some "essential tweaks" like disabling gameDVR, deleting temp files, and that's all I think.

I had it enabled and noticed my lockscreen background changed upon restarting. When I went to change it back to spotlight I see that the option is entirely gone.

I'm also not sure if I've ever seen the "some of these settings are managed by your organization" alert there before. It's one of those things that you don't pay attention to until it gets in the way/there's an issue. I tried this suggestion wondering if that was getting in the way but it didn't remove the "organisation" warning.

Not sure if this tool caused one and/or the other issue, but hoping to get pointed in the right direction at least. Will try the only restore point I see from 2 days ago & come back (I think I used this before that though so it might not).

Following as I too, would like to see this fixed.

Edit: Looks like this was intentional as mentioned in an already closed issue. I found this issue from googling and hadn't looked yet for similar issues.

I also had this problem and after much searching hit on what causes it. It is the 'Recommendations in Start Menu' toggle. In particular the registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Education]
"IsEducationEnvironment"=dword:00000001

If set to 1 it will remove the Spotlight option in the dropdown menu and displays the "some of these settings are managed by your organization" warning. It does not affect the desktop personalisation screen though. Setting it to 0 will remove the warning and bring back the Spotlight option, but will also bring back the Start Menu recommendations.
