How to Find Windows Spotlight Images
If you’re using Windows 10, you’ve probably seen the stunning images that appear on the lock screen when you start up or unlock your device. These images, called Windows Spotlight images, can range from landscape photographs to stunning digital art pieces. If you’ve ever wondered where these images come from or how to find them, here’s your guide.
What Are Windows Spotlight Images?
Windows Spotlight images are high-quality images that are curated by Microsoft and appear on the lock screen of your Windows 10 device. They are specifically chosen to bring a bit of beauty to your daily routine.
How to Find Windows Spotlight Images
1. The first way to find Windows Spotlight images is to check the lock screen of your Windows 10 device. If there is an image that catches your eye, click on the “Like what you see?” message on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will take you to the Microsoft Store, where you can download the image as a wallpaper.
2. If you want to find all the past Windows Spotlight images that have appeared on your device, go to the following folder in your file explorer: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets. Note that you will need to replace “UserName” with your actual username.
3. Once you have accessed this folder, you will see a list of files that have random names with no extensions. These files are actually image files, but they are not recognizable as such. To turn them into images, simply copy them to another folder and add “.jpg” at the end of each file name. You can then view them as image files.
4. If you don’t want to manually add “.jpg” to the end of every file name, you can use a third-party program to help you with the process. One such program is called SpotBright, which can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Store.
