Windows 10 when locked covers the whole screen with an image that changes periodically.

How can I make it so that whatever image is on the Windows 10 lock screen is also my desktop background/wallpaper? This of course means that when the lock screen image changes, the wallpaper should change to that too.

    How to Save Windows 10’s Lock Screen Spotlight Images to Your Hard Drive. That article explains where the files are located in. It would be a simple enough task to create a powershell that automates the conversion of the file to .jpg and then sets the desktop to the most recent image.

I've created a little python 3 script which copies the pictures that are available to a designated background folder. It requires that you create a designated folder to store the pictures in and you need to update the path to match your own user.
