Set 'Windows spotlight' lockscreen images as desktop wallpapers without installing anything

I ended up moving the code for this post into my github since I’m using it myself ;) Get it from here:<br/ >https://github.com/mwanchap/configs/blob/master/Scripts/Windows%20Spotlight%20Wallpapers.ps1

Once you’ve cloned it, the only things you need to do are:

  • Decide where you want the wallpaper images to go
  • Update the $location variable in the script with that location (I’m using ~\Pictures\Spotlight Wallpapers)
  • Run the script
  • Open windows background settings and set the background type to “slideshow”, pointed at that location
  • Run the script at startup if you want to get new images all the time (optional but recommended)
