If these images are visible on your screen, then it is obvious that they are in your computer’s Hard Drive. The problem is to find that obscure folder where they are buried in.
Note: If the Windows Spotlight is not enabled on your computer, then you have to enable it first. By doing this, you can get the newest Bing Images on your own computer.

To reach that folder follow the steps:

1. You have to go %systemroot%\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets\ in the Windows explorer.
2. Here you will find files of Windows Spotlight and others too with the strangest file name you have ever seen. Copy all these distinctive named files by right-clicking or Ctrl+C.
3. Create a folder in your known location and name it. Paste those copied files in that folder.
4. Now because these files have a different file extension, you have to change the file extension of all those files to.jpg
5. To do that you have to go to Command Prompt, now navigate the folder where you have pasted all the images of Window Spotlight.
6. Now just type ren**. jpg, and run this command.
7. After completing this process now, you can go to that folder and notice that you can see these pictures.
8. Now go to Windows Setting, and open Personalization to set these images as a Background image. Find the Background on the navigation.
9. Go to the Browse, and select that image you wanted as your background from that folder of Spotlight Images.
Now your desktop background is the same as astonishing Spotlight Image.
