How to get the Windows Spotlight icon back onto the desktop
Hello,
I'm running Windows 11 Insider Dev Channel build 25309, but I accidentally deleted the 'Windows Spotlight' icon from the desktop but I can't get it back - is there any way to restore it?

However, you should search for the key `{2cc5ca98-6485-489a-920e-b3e88a6ccce3}` in your own Registry, as the `S-1-5-21` path may differ on your system.
- Try re-selecting Windows Spotlight at Settings > Personalization > Background.
- Hi,
I've already tried reselecting it, however it didn't fix it
