The media says so Windows 10 will receive Windows 11 Spotlight, or at least that’s what users of the Release Preview Channel found out. It is a small novelty, little more than an aesthetic one, but still a novelty that it was not clear that this version of the Microsoft operating system will be liked again.

Yes, Windows 10 has its own Spotlight, just like Windows 11. In fact, they are the same, only the one in the new version of Windows has evolved the most. But it seems that users of the previous version will not be left without it; In fact, it will follow the same path, from the lock screen to the desktop, including improvements.

By the way: Spotlight, in case you’re not familiar with it, is a Microsoft service that Windows provides beautiful pictures to decorate your lock screens and desktop backgrounds. There is no more. Well, that’s exactly what this new feature that’s coming to Windows 10, most likely in the next update, consists of.

Specifically, the ability to use Windows Spotlight to manage wallpaper will be added, including improvements related to the desktop icon and the options and information that the service was updated with at the end of last year, then only for Windows 11.

For the most vocal, Windows Spotlight is a very interesting resource that will make your desktop look nice with minimal effort, thanks to the quality of the images it provides. Many of them are collected in Microsoft Design, in case you want to take a look without touching anything. And yes, it is a novelty that you may like more or less, even if it has its retouching possibilities.

That being said, it’s not worth getting into: you either like it or you don’t, although most likely you do, because it won’t spoil anyone with a sweet treat. However, there are ways to get the most out of Windows Spotlight beyond Spotlight itself, even if it’s through third-party tools. A highly recommended one, available for both Windows 10 and Windows 11 and with advantages over native features, is Dynamic Theme.

But more striking than the images offered by Spotlight is that Windows 10, originally set for an end date of 2025 and whose support was only supposed to be maintenance for the rest of the time, is getting something new. The first, no matter how small, that Windows 10 will be released for more than a year.
