Windows Spotlight now shows you the location of the wallpaper image from your lock screen. Find out how to make use of this feature to discover the world from the comfort of your laptop.
Windows Spotlight is a key feature of Windows 10. It allows users to see beautiful captures from various beautiful landscapes from all parts of the world on their lock screen. New captures are put up every day! And so, Windows Spotlight is a beautiful way for you to start your day.
Prior to the Anniversary Update, one would have to employ a series of investigation techniques to determine the origin of an image. This has changed with a neat feature that is quietly tucked away in the latest update.
As you can see in the screenshot, there is a new option at the top right of the lock screen in the shape of a camera. Hovering your mouse over this will show you the place where the photo was taken, allowing you to better plan a potential vacation.
The Windows Spotlight images are on a daily cycle and based on how you interact with it, you will be shown images suited to your liking. You can do this by going to the top right of the same place and giving your feedback to Microsoft.
