To copy, select the files and then hold right-click and drag the images to the second Explorer window. Select all the files that are larger than 100KB or so and copy them to the new folder. Now what you want to do is create a new folder somewhere else on your drive that you will use for the wallpaper images.
The reason I mention sorting by size is because some of the files in the folder are less than 50 KB and are not the wallpaper images. Go ahead and click on the Size column to order the items by file size.
You should see a bunch of files in this folder if you have been using Windows Spotlight for some time. Once you have done this, navigate to the following directory below, using your own user account in place of username.Ĭ:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets Go ahead and check both the File name extensions and Hidden items boxes. To do this, you’ll need to open Windows Explorer and click on the View tab. The first step is to find all the stored images on your Windows 10 system. Luckily, all of the images that have been shown on your computer are actually already stored on your system, albeit not in a very user-friendly way. If you’re not sure what Windows Spotlight is or if it’s not enabled on your computer, you can click on start and type in lock screen to bring up this dialog.Īs you can see, the lock screen images are really nice and change about every two days.
In this article, I’ll show you how to get those pictures from Windows Spotlight onto your computer, which you can then feed to the slideshow option for your desktop wallpaper.
