Windows Spotlight And LockScreen Apps Not Showing Solution

[crypticus]

Lots of people had problems with spotlight functions not working. or working but apps are not shown on lockscreen… And I wasted months to figure out how to fix this. this will possibly fix tips and tricks not shown on lockscreen issue too...

The reason is If u disable uac via registery command which is this one

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

modern apps will not be visible on lockscreen…. so after disabling uac with registery or any method u use. remember to turn it on again if u want to be able to see apps on lockscreen…. u can turn it on to lowest level like this. it will still work.... the reg file will look like it set it to lowest level but configuring it manually and using reg file is giving totally different results....

so if u want to disable uac quickly with registery use this.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000001

this will first set it to lowest level and disable uac and then reopen it to lowest level.... like in the picture
