How to Save Windows 10 Spotlight Lock Screen Pictures?

But before we begin, let’s see some quick facts…

However, the good thing about this feature is that you don’t have to see your old boring lock screen pictures every day. So, every time you login into your windows, you will see a new beautiful background wallpaper on your screen.

And the worst part is that there is no official way from Microsoft to download them. But luckily geeks have found the location of where these images are deeply buried in hidden directories.

So in this post, I will show you how to find and save windows 10 spotlight images, so that we can use them on our laptops, computer, or PC.

So, let’s get started…

1. Using Windows 10 Settings

In this part, we will be finding the spotlight photos and then convert them into the usable formats using the default settings.

And here are the steps to follow:-

1. First, press and hold the “Windows key + R” to open the Run Command dialog box. Or you can also search for Run in the Start menu and hit Enter.

2. Now enter the given command in the Run dialog box & then click OK.

Command:-%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets

Note:- I suggest you to copy-paste the code because this is the exact location of Windows 10 lock screen wallpaper.

3. After that, the Assets folder will open up where you will find all the stored spotlight pictures in some different invalid formats.

4. Now create a New folder, then copy all the image files from the Assets folder and paste them into that new folder.

Note:- While copying these files to the New folder, you will see a warning dialog box which you have to ignore and simply click OK.

5. After that, go to the location bar of the New folder and then type CMD & hit the Enter button.

Note:- Here we will be using the Command Prompt for converting the invalid format files to usable image files.

6. At last, type the ” Ren *.* *.jpg ” command in the dialog box and then hit Enter. And this will rename all the files to .jpg extension present in that folder.

And Done! Now you will find all the spotlight images right there. Also, some of the files will remain the same as they are cached junk, so delete them.

Bonus Tip:- Few images are in vertical portrait mode and you can easily use them on your smartphone’s lock screen.

Now let’s move to the next part…

2. Save and Download Windows 10 Spotlight Wallpapers using Third-Party Apps

Although, the above method is pretty easy to use but if you want to do it frequently then it looks a little hectic. And to avoid this situation, we will be using third-party apps which will automatically save and download the Windows spotlight wallpaper on your system.

And here are the steps to follow:-

2. Now go to the Start menu, search for the “dynamic theme” and then click on the Open button.

3. After that, the app preferences will open up, and then click on the “Daily Windows Spotlight picture” tab. Now enable the Autosave option and then “Choose” the location according to you.

4. Now go to Settings and click on the Personalization button.

5. After that, change Windows 10 lock screen option to Slideshow and then click on the “Add a folder” button.

6. Now navigate and select the location of the “Windows Spotlight Images” folder and then click on Choose this folder option.

At last, check for all settings and the correct folder is added.
