@Ramhound Windows is activated, the group policy settings did nothing for me unforunately, or just further increased my inability to add spotlight. I'm using Windows Dynamic Theme from the Windows App Store right now and it works well, despite only putting a bandage over the problem. I tired those steps in the other posting, but that method no longer seems to work in version 1703. – syntaxerror May 20 '17 at 20:24
