SpotlightSaver

Windows 10 is known for keeping the lock screen interesting with its wallpaper cycling feature. Because the images used as wallpaper are online sourced, the user has no control over them. If you were wondering how to snag those beautiful images out of the lock screen, you might be in luck. SpotlightSaver is a lightweight tool able to capture every wallpaper that your OS push after lock. Moreover, the process of saving the images is completely automated, so you don't have to raise a finger to build a nice collection of pictures.

Due to its ability to extract images all by itself, the application will not bother you with a long installation or even a UI. Indeed, SpotlightSaver has no interface or system tray menu. Once it's installed, it can be set to run at startup, or the desktop shortcut can be used to load it up. That is all one has to do to have it running.

There are no settings or tweaks to do here, so there will be only one format the output files will have. Also, the default location for saving the items is the Pictures folder. The saving process starts once the screen is locked. Each time you repeat this action, the wallpaper changes, hence it is snagged and sent to the designated location.

One aspect that can break the app is represented by the Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager function. If this condition is disabled, your OS won't be able to cycle the images, thus you won't get any output.

SpotlightSaver is a straightforward tool with script-like behavior that saves each image used to decorate your lock screen. It has an easy installation process and won't require any attention except launching it.
