Spotlight for Windows Desktop adds ad-free Windows Spotlight wallpapers to your desktop on Windows 7/8.x/10/11, and adds Spotlight to lockscreen on Windows 7 and 8.x. It can also remove the tips and ads from the native spotlight lockscreen on Windows 10/11. Includes a GUI and Control Panel integration for easy configuration. Spotlight for Windows Desktop automatically downloads and images from the Windows Spotlight API on a regular basis and changes your desktop and lock screen images. Spotlight for Windows Desktop uses the same API used by Windows 10, providing the exact same images that a Windows 10 computer receives.
