Windows Spotlight is a feature included withWindows 10 andWindows 11 which downloads images and advertisements fromBing and displays them as backgroundwallpapers on thelock screen. In 2017, Microsoft began adding location information for many of the photographs.
Windows Spotlight images are provided by Windows' Content Delivery Manager. New ones are shown every 1–2 days.
