Where, or what format, are the images used by Windows 10 when logged out or in lock-screen?
I searched the entire drive for *.jpg, *.bmp, *.png, and *.tif but the one I was looking for did not appear.
At first glance, Path to current desktop backgrounds in Windows 10?, although not exactly a duplicate, appeared to have the path I wanted. But when I went there, the pre-login image was there, but the lock-screen image was not. (And contrary to the claim in that answer, the files there did have extensions.)
MISE À JOUR : Je viens de did a lockscreen, and got an image that IS in that directory, but earlier today, it was consistently an image of an interesting footbridge that is not in that directory.
Si vous êtes not finding the images in the typical locations, you likely have Windows Spotlight turned on. Spotlight offers random images on the écran de verrouillage, aussi as other features.
These Windows Spotlight images aren’t stored in the same location as
regular Windows wallpaper, cependant, so here’s how vous pouvez find them.
The images are hidden deep, so vous devrez change settings before vous pouvez view them. To do this, open Explorateur de fichiers and allez dans the View tab. On the far right is an Options button, click it.
In the window that opens, select the View tab. Under Advanced Settings, select Show hidden files, folders and drives, puis cliquez sur Apply and then OK to close the open window.
Now it is time to naviguez vers the following directory (which was hidden before).
In this directory vous verrez a bunch of files without extensions. These are the incognito image files. These are jpeg images of various resolutions to meet the needs of multiple devices screen sizes. Vous pouvez copy the files to another location and rename them to have the jpeg extension, then vous pouvez open them with your default image viewer.
