Extract Windows Spotlight images

A Powershell script to extract Windows Spotlight images found in Windows 10.

What is Windows Spotlight?

Windows Spotlight are a collection of images that are displayed on your lockscreen in Windows 10, if its enabled. These images will be automatically updated regularly by Windows.

Images are stored in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets with a random string as filename and no file extension.

What does this script do?

This script will extract all Windows Spotlight images that is stored on your computer and (by default) put them in %USERPROFILE%\Pictures\Spotlight as .jpeg. It will only extract images that are larger or equal to 1920 width (aka ment for desktop).

Setup

You can choose to run this script manually whenevery you want, but I recommend to set it up as a scheduled task.
