Microsoft Windows 11
I am not sure is this the right Forum thread to ask this question in particular, however it is totally related to the Windows Spotlight.

Just recently I test all brand new Microsoft Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 build 26100.1742 [24H2] x64 EN US OS, and for the first time as I know, the Windows LTSC OS edition get integrated a Windows Spotlight option! :-)


Although, I am not 100% sure that it is totally correct, since the Spotlight do exist and it is activated already by default just imediatelly when you install this particullar Windows OS, and/or when you pick up later that you want again the Windows Spotlight Theme, then you also need to go to set your Background as a Spotlight here, and then you will also get this Learn about this picture desktop icon automatically here...
However when you want to apply the Spotlight to the Lock screen itself, it does not exist as an option here on this particular Windows OS, only the Picture and the Slideshow options are here available.


Well, in any case, what I try to search is the location where this Spotlight images exist locally on my HDD/SDD, to be able to save them permanently. :love:
Because, as I can see it, on this particullar Windows OS the Spotlight images doesn't exist anymore on one of this two locations at all:

Code:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets

C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\...

Is there any new folder location where this cool images are preserved in nowadays, or...? :unsure:

Thanks everybody here in advance for the answer and best regards! :giggle:

Dear @Brink I apologize for the wrong place of my posting, and thank you for welcoming me! :giggle:

Well, I test your suggestion and you are right - the Spotlights are not anymore in:

Code:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets\

or in

C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\


But they exists now only here and this is a Bingo location:

Code:
C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\DesktopSpotlight\Assets\Images\

I found them, thank you! :love:(y)
