    Windows 10 Default Pictures


    I don't know if I'm the only one or not, but I find the default pictures of Windows 10 quite amazing. So amazing in fact, that I want to use them in various other places, like, for example, on my other Windows 7 PC. Does anybody know their location ?

    PS: I'm talking about the desktop background pictures and the lock screen pictures.



    EDIT:
    Answer by @Brink. Background pictures located in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
    Answer by @Edwin. Lock Screen pictures located in C:\Users\{your moniker}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ContentDeliveryManager_xxxxxx....\LocalState\Assets
    (the xxxx..... will be random numbers/letters in the folder name.)
    they will look like blank paper icons because they don't have a file extension, just right click them and choose 'Open with' and choose Windows Photo Viewer.
    You could also Copy and Paste them into your Pictures folder then rename them with a .jpg extension.

    :)

    Hello Marron, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    The default wallpapers for Windows 10 are kept in the subfolders of the folder below.

    C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper

    The default Lock screen images are in the folder below.

    C:\Windows\Web\Screen

    Right click on the desktop. Choose Personalize. Choose desktop backgrounds on the bottom toward the left. You should be able to see where the pics are located.

    The pics aren't there. Those are the Desktop Background images, not the lock screen images.
    I am interested of the location of this picture (other pics should be there too):

    I'm not sure since I don't have those, but you could search you C: drive for *.jpg to see if they show up in the search results. If they do, then right click on one, and click on "Open file location" to have it take you to them.

    Nope. I couldn't find them. *Sad
    PS: I switched from 'Windwos Default' to 'Slideshot' and then back to 'Windows Default' and I got a different picture:

    I don't get a different picture if I repet the process now though.

    @ Marron :
    They should be located at:

    C:\Users\{your moniker}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ContentDeliveryManager_xxxxxx....\LocalState\Assets

    (the xxxx..... will be random numbers/letters in the folder name.)
    they will look like blank paper icons because they don't have a file extension, just right click them and choose 'Open with' and choose Windows Photo Viewer.
    You could also Copy and Paste them into your Pictures folder then rename them with a .jpg extension.
