    Try to re-register Windows Spotlight using following PowerShell command:

    Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}
    

    If issue still persists, try to perform repair upgrade:
