Lockscreen imagages changed location

Question

For a few years my lock-screen images were always found in the same location: c:\users\user name\appdata\local\packages\.........Now my images show up as a theme?????

If you come across a lock screen image you really love and can't find it in the file system, you can simply take a screenshot using the Snipping Tool or Snip &amp; Sketch. Just open it and capture the image while it's displayed.

In Windows 11, the lockscreen images are now stored in a different location. The new location is:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets

This change was introduced with Windows 11 to improve the management and organization of lockscreen images.
