After installation, and for a few days, Windows 10 starts by asking you if you like a series of images that appear when you start the computer, then, based on your opinion, a selection of these images keep "welcoming" you. I'd like to know where these images are saved (and how, if it's a database or a change of format-extension).

I might want some of them, I might want to add a few of my own.

Does anybody know the path to these images (or database)? Is there documentation or options in Windows 10 to treat them?

    You're quite right :). I think they only appear if you select "Yes, I want to contribute..." to one of those feedback programs. But I do like the pictures (hope they don't use 'em against me). – Ignorante Sep 03 '15 at 18:15
  • Oh my, I just got a down arrow. Is this that bad a question? – Ignorante Sep 03 '15 at 18:17
  • Second down arrow! I better erase this question or end with no reputation!!! Help me Meta! – Ignorante Sep 03 '15 at 18:55
  • (Or) Can someone tell me why I get down arrows for this? – Ignorante Sep 03 '15 at 18:56

    IMHO the question is ok. But it might be that the answer is already available on Google and you just didn't do much research. – Thomas Weller Sep 03 '15 at 19:18
  • I did, a little. But, the way I see it, it was Anant's answer that helped me name things, and just then I could find the answer on google. Perhaps I did lack a little research in my own machine, he he. Yes, you're right, I take my down arrows with dignity. – Ignorante Sep 03 '15 at 19:32

    @Ignorante I think it is a great question. I just had the same question, and your answer was great. Have an upvote! – Zero3 Apr 29 '16 at 13:01
  • Does this answer your question? [What is the location of lock screen images on Windows 10?](https://superuser.com/questions/1126403/what-is-the-location-of-lock-screen-images-on-windows-10) – iacobo Dec 13 '21 at 11:15

Thanks to Anant Milk now I know this is called the Lock Screen. Knowing that, I found the answer in google: http://www.tenforums.com/customization/5428-windows-spotlight-lock-screen-image-location.html

The path to the images in Lock Screen (and some others used by the system) is 

C:\Users\{your name}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txy‌​ewy\LocalState\Assets

Rename extensions to jpg and you can get them.

In Windows 10/11, there is a difference between the desktop background wallpapers installed as part of the Windows theme, and the Windows Spotlight wallpaper which (if enabled) appears on the lockscreen. They can be found here:

Item Online repository Local dir
Theme wallpapers Microsoft Support Windows Wallpapers %LOCALAPPDATA%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
Windows Spotlight windows10spotlight.com %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
