Windows Spotlight is a feature included by default in Windows 10 that downloads pictures and advertisements automatically from Bing and displays them when the lock screen is being shown on a computer running Windows 10. For some images, users are given an opportunity to mark whether they wish to see more or less images of a similar type.
For most of the images, no information or credits are available, apart from some that display information about where the picture was taken. However many are of well-known locations, or famous historical or natural landmarks and therefore can be identified. Identified images include (alphabetical by country):
