Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached service.log and reproducing the interaction between Auto Dark Mode 11.0.0.54 and Windows Spotlight on Windows build 26200.8328. Trace the wallpaper-related service behavior and compare it with the uninstalling-ADM case; done means Spotlight downloads new wallpapers while Auto Dark Mode remains installed.
