Spotlight Image Extractor v2.00

This program extracts the beautiful lockscreen images from Windows 10/11 to a folder so you can use them as background images for Windows desktop.

Usage: Simply run the exe at any time to extract the current lockscreen background images

Or, if you would prefer the images to be extracted automatically, use this (once):

Spotlight-Image-Extractor.exe -INSTALL

And, to stop it extracting images automatically, use:

Spotlight-Image-Extractor.exe -UNINSTALL

All extracted images are saved to a folder named Spotlight-Images which is located in your My Documents folder

All image files are hashed with SHA256 when extacting to avoid duplicates


Double-click ".\build\compile.bat" to compile the exe into the build directory

Note: Nothing needs to be installed to compile this program, the compiler used comes installed with Windows 10/11!

Double-click ".\build\execute.bat" to (compile if needed and) execute the program, and pause for 3 seconds to see the output
