This program extracts the beautiful lockscreen images from Windows 10/11 to a folder so you can use them as background images for Windows desktop.
Usage: Simply run the exe at any time to extract the current lockscreen background images
Or, if you would prefer the images to be extracted automatically, use this (once):
Spotlight-Image-Extractor.exe -INSTALL
And, to stop it extracting images automatically, use:

All extracted images are saved to a folder named Spotlight-Images which is located in your My Documents folder
All image files are hashed with SHA256 when extacting to avoid duplicates
