Look for this Windows Spotlight wallpaper
Saw this one in class and reverse image searched my way to finding this image at this size, but can't find it at a better one. Much less credit for its creator. Any leads? The location is Illa Pancha in Ribadeo.
There are dedicated communities and websites that track and archive Windows Spotlight images. Sites like "Windows 10 Spotlight Images" might have the specific picture you’re looking for in higher quality.
Find Spotlight wallpapers manually
1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the following path:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
You will see some files with no extension, these are the Spotlight wallpapers.
Copy these files to another folder and add the .jpg extension to view them.
2. Use the third party tool SpotBright: Automatically save Spotlight wallpapers and set them as your desktop background.
Dynamic Theme: Downloaded from Microsoft Store, it supports automatically applying Spotlight wallpapers.
3. Using PowerShell Scripts: Open PowerShell (with administrator privileges).
Run the following script:
powershell
$spotlightPath = “$env:LocalAppData\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets”
$destinationPath = “$env:UserProfile\Pictures\Spotlight”
if (-not (Test-Path $destinationPath)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $destinationPath }
Get-ChildItem -Path $spotlightPath | ForEach-Object {
if ($_.Length -gt 100KB) {
Copy-Item -Path $_.FullName -Destination “$destinationPath\$($_.Name).jpg”
}
}
The script saves the Spotlight wallpaper to the Pictures\Spotlight folder.
