Windows Spotlight no longer working on Lock Screen

Hi there, 

This is a recurring issue that I used to be able to fix. 

I have tried every hack available online. Toggled on and off, cleared cache files, reregistered in Powershell, fix via command prompt, checked for Windows updates and restarted computer a thousand times. Spotlight works perfectly on the background, but NOT on the lock screen. It defaults to the blue flower thingy. 

Windows 11, Asus VivoBook. 

What else is there to fix this?  

 

Thanks!!!
