Let us see how to use the Windows Spotlight Wallpapers on your Windows 11 PC.

Apply Windows Spotlight Wallpapers on Windows 11

Windows 11 adds the ability to use Window spotlight wallpapers on the desktop right within the settings app. Let us explore this option here. Go back to the desktop, and you should have your Windows spotlight wallpaper on the desktop. You’ll also notice a new desktop icon labeled Learn about this picture. This is similar to all the links on the Windows spotlight image on the lock screen. Opening it will send you to Bing, where you can find out a bit more information about the subject featured in the image. If you’re like me and don’t love desktop icons, currently there’s not much you can do about it. Right-clicking the icon presents you with a few options, including switching to the next wallpaper. There’s also the option to delete, but the icon simply comes back anytime the desktop is refreshed.

Windows Spotlight Wallpapers for Desktop on Windows 10

On Windows 10, you’ll need to use third-party apps in order to get spotlight wallpapers on the desktop. Fortunately, there is not a lack of such apps and there are many. However, many of those apps have some additional functionality and wallpapers that you may or may not need. For this tutorial, we’re going to use a simple app that offers all the necessary features we need, but not too much clutter. This app, called Dynamic Theme, is free on the Microsoft Store and is one of the few third-party apps that follow the Windows 11 design. Download: Dynamic Theme You can also choose One Windows Spotlight picture if you don’t want the background image to change each day. You also have the option to save every wallpaper automatically every day in your preferred location. The Dynamic Theme app also lets you have the same Windows spotlight wallpaper for your lock screen. The difference is that with Dynamic Theme, you don’t get the desktop link to “Learn more about this picture”. That can be a good or bad thing depending on how useful you think that feature is. It’s the same if you choose to apply Windows spotlight wallpapers on the lock screen from Dynamic Theme. Your lock screen wallpaper will no more be covered in links. For these reasons, you can also use Dynamic Theme to get Windows spotlight backgrounds for desktops on Windows 11 as well. On Windows 10 though, a third-party app like this is unavoidable if you want the spotlight wallpapers for the desktop. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email.
