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).

    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.

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
