Где лежит windows интересное — Ваш верный помощник с OS Windows

В Windows 10 есть интересная функция, которая называется «Windows: интересное» (иначе — Windows spotlight)! Эта функция предназначена для автоматической загрузки и дальнейшей установки на экран блокировки разнообразных фоновых изображений…

Чтобы увидеть файлы с этими изображениями, вам вначале необходимо включить в системе отображение скрытых файлов (элементов)! Делается это в Проводнике Windows с помощью установки галочки в пункте Скрытые элементы на вкладке Вид. Далее необходимо в Проводнике открыть диск С (или любой другой, на котором установлена операционная система) и перейти по данному пути:

Открыв папку Assets, вы обнаружите определённое количество файлов, не имеющих расширения, с длинными именами. Часть из этих файлов как раз и являются фоновыми изображениями для экрана блокировки (размер которых, в основном, более 100 Кб)! Для выполнения дальнейших действий лучше будет скопировать эти файлы в любую папку на рабочем столе. А затем можете приступать к их переименованию, например: 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg и т.д. После переименования и создания расширения для этих файлов, их можно открыть с помощью «Средства просмотра фотографий Windows» (или любого другого графического редактора).

Источник

Если вам требуется получить стандартные обои рабочего стола Windows 11 или изображения с экрана блокировки, вы легко можете найти их на системном диске.

Далее в статье — обо всех расположениях обоев рабочего стола, экрана блокировки и даже файлов фона сенсорной клавиатуры.

Расположение папки и файлов обоев Windows 11

Большинство обоев Windows 11 собраны во вложенных папках системной папки C:\Windows\Web\

Чтобы перейти в любую из далее указанных папок вы можете открыть проводник, скопировать и вставить путь к папке в поле адреса и нажать Enter. В C:\Windows\Web\ вы можете найти:

C:\Windows\Web\4K\Wallpaper\Windows — стандартные обои стандартной темы Windows 11

Картинка с сайта: remontka.pro
C:\Windows\Web\Screen — обои, используемые на экране блокировки, но не те, которые загружаются с серверов Майкрософт при выборе «Windows: интересное» в параметрах персонализации экрана блокировки, а только стандартные предустановленные обои. Про обои Windows интересное читаем в следующем разделе статьи.

Картинка с сайта: remontka.pro
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper — обои из некоторых тем Windows 11 (некоторые из папок могут не содержать обоев).
C:\Windows\Web\touchkeyboard — фоны сенсорной клавиатуры.

Картинка с сайта: remontka.pro

Помимо указанных папок, вам могут пригодиться (также копируем путь и вставляем в проводник):

Папка, где расположены текущие обои рабочего стола
```
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\RoamedThemeFiles\DesktopBackground
```
Еще одно расположение с обоями —
```
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\WallpaperBackup
```
Папка (может отсутствовать) с кэшированными обоями рабочего стола —
```
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles
```

Ещё две папки (из комментариев) —

%LocalAppData%\Packages\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalCache\Microsoft\IrisService\6001846111790098305\
C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\DesktopSpotlight\Assets\Images

Обои экрана блокировки Windows 11 (Windows: интересное)

Если в качестве обоев для экрана блокировки в параметрах персонализации вы выбрали Windows: интересное, то можете встретить действительно интересные фото (они загружаются с серверов Майкрософт), которые захотите сохранить. Найти их можно, зайдя в папку (скопируйте и вставьте в адресную строку проводника):

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets

В этой папке вы найдете множество файлов без расширения, но по факту среди них есть обычные JPEG фото, используемые в качестве обоев экрана блокировки (ориентируйтесь на размер файла: те, которые занимают сотни Кб — это и есть нужные обои), достаточно скопировать файл в удобное расположение, добавить расширение JPEG и это будет обычный файл фото.

Файлы обоев экрана блокировки Windows Интересное

При желании вы можете использовать bat-файл (как создать файл bat) со следующим кодом, чтобы автоматически сохранить все обои экрана блокировки в папку Изображения\LockScreen и переименовать их в JPEG:

cd /D %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
mkdir "%userprofile%\Pictures\LockScreen\" 1>nul 2>&1
copy * "%userprofile%\Pictures\LockScreen\*.jpg"

It doesn’t work for me. Maybe because it’s an operating system with a different language? In the properties of the .bat file I marked it to unlock and it doesn’t create the folder.

EDIT:
I have already located the folder. Created it in C:\Users\xxxxxx\Desktop\WindowsSpotlightImages.
Thanks

This comment is meant to be helpful.

I have repeatedly had trouble with the Bing wallpaper app and because somehow my desktop image was not changing I looked for a tutorial.
Somehow I got through it but it just did not work as explained here. I cannot now find the Windows Spotlight app/program on my pc and do not have the understanding, time or patience to explain what happened.

The Bing wallpaper download has been done as I have a new desktop image — I’ll see if it changes — I think the difficulty may be connected with the offer from Microsoft is primarily a way of getting me to use Bing search.

I go round in circles -probably because I do not understand the way basic computer programs work.

Sorry if this message is unhelpful, but over the years since I got Windows 10 — maybe before — this issue has reoccured and hence I give this report — thank you.

@Ghot

Note — To get to the next picture just click the arrow instead of going bacl to the page with all the images.

Anybody though who could generate some sort of code to do this in a script to grab all thopse images. I think the old Internet explorer had some method where you could capture and display code for your actions.

Brinks tutorial doesnt seem to put anything in the desktop spotlight file though.

You can capture all the urls though easily enough e.g even this unsophisticated way

Taughannock Falls State Park — then scroll to the next one and so on and then you;ve got the lot in your history file (ensure it’s big enough or has enough space for the entries).

I’ve plonked that into a MariaDB sql database so I can keep the lot and update regularly.

Now I need some «Nice kind coder» who could automate from those URLS doenloading the pictures == any offers : !!!! I’ve manually stored the pics so far but this should be easily «automatable» .

Something’s changed in the last week. Im running Windows 11 build 22631.2715.
The Assets folder where Windows should keep the Spotlight images has nothing newer than 11/7/23 in it.
However I still have new Spotlight images every few days.
Anyone know where Windows is keeping them?

OS

Windows 11

After reading several online tutorials for copying over Spotlight images, I find they all share the same flaw: None of them preserve the original image’s description or creator’s name.

Fortunately, the on-screen credits are buried inside Content Delivery Manager’s folder cache. I wrote a script which dumps your current Spotlight files into the same Deskop\WindowsSpotlightImages, but provides a more intelligent filename.

Run this batch file from a scheduled task, if you want to capture wallpapers on a weekly basis.

UPDATE: Fixed a bug with duplicate images being saved two days in a row.

Hello mate,

I found some Desktop spotlight images hiding in the folder below, and updated the BAT file in the tutorial to include this location. This location appears to be the 4 images you see when you right click on the «Learn about this picture» button on the desktop.

I found some Desktop spotlight images hiding in the folder below, and updated the BAT file in the tutorial to include this location. This location appears to be the 4 images you see when you right click on the «Learn about this picture» button on the desktop.

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

Thanks for looking. Unfortunately, the images contained in that folder do not match the spotlight images being used as the «current» Spotlight desktop backgrounds. Today’s images include an image of «Stonehenge» (among others) which I cannot find anywhere on disk…at least not yet.

In that case, test using either the context menu or the VBS file below to see if may. It’s suppose to open the file location of the current desktop.

BINGO !!! That found the folder path…and it is circuitous. Here is the containing folder:

C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Packages\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalCache\Microsoft\IrisService

(note that there is no «.» between «Microsoft» and «Windows»)

There are subfolders (apparently for the last 2 days) within this containing folder that hold the image files.

В этой публикации, друзья, рассмотрим новую возможность Windows 11 – функцию Windows Spotlight, она же по-русски «Windows: интересное» для рабочего стола. Красивейшие виды природы от поисковика Microsoft Bing в актуальной операционной системе отныне можно устанавливать не только на экран блокировки, но ещё и на рабочий стол. И эти виды будут меняться каждый день. Давайте детальнее об этой возможности, и как её задействовать в Windows 11.

«Windows: интересное» на рабочем столе Windows 11

Microsoft недавно выпустила необязательное накопительное обновление для Windows 11, которое включает ряд улучшений для операционной системы. В их числе традиционно исправление различных проблем, улучшение функции безопасности Family Safety, а также возможность использовать «Windows: интересное» для рабочего стола. Кто не в курсе, друзья, Windows 11 получает новые функции не только в рамках масштабных ежегодных функциональных обновлений, но также вне их, в небольших накопительных обновлениях.

И вот благодаря недавнему накопительному обновлению мы можем использовать «Windows: интересное» для фонов рабочего стола. Эта функция появилась в Windows 10 и работала только для экрана блокировки. Являет собой ежедневно меняемые эффектные изображения природы и различных местностей из коллекции поисковика Bing. Приправленные краткой полезной информацией об объектах на изображениях. Полезной информации на рабочем столе у нас, конечно, не будет. А сменяемые каждый день живописнейшие пейзажи – пожалуйста.

Для использования «Windows: интересное» на рабочем столе в приложении «Параметры» идём в настройки персонализации – «Персонализация → Фон». И в блоке выбора картинок для рабочего стола выставляем «Windows: интересное».

Но чтобы эта возможность появилась, необходимо установить упомянутое накопительное обновление. Поскольку оно необязательное, оно загружается и устанавливается нами вручную. Идём в центр обновлений Windows 11, запускаем проверку обновлений. Отдельным блоком должно появиться накопительное обновление KB5014019. Жмём «Скачать и установить».

По итогу его скачивания и установки перезагружаем компьютер. В приложении «Параметры» идём по пути «Система → О системе» и смотрим номер сборки. Сборка Windows 11 должна повыситься как минимум до 22000.706.

И тогда функция «Windows: интересное» для рабочего стола Windows 11 станет нам доступна.
