Note: I couldn't add new comment on this other Super User question so I created this new question.

Microsoft has changed the Bing Wallpapers location and I can no longer find them. Does anybody know where are they?

  1. I tried to recreate WPImages folder at %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\BingWallpaperApp
    because it disappeared, and restart computer, but images are still not saving there.
  2. I also tried to reinstall Bing Wallpapers.
  3. Tried to fild them by: listing whole C disk by command in CMD: tree /f /a > tree_2025-04-12.txt and then searching created listing file by regex: \b[0-9]{8}\.jpg\b but nothing was found.

I found the new location of Bing Wallpapers as of March/April 2025! I used your "tree" command trick, but it seems to miss Hidden files, so I ran it in my local user AppData directory. Searched for ".jpg" and it jumped right out at me. The new filenames take the format "yyyymmdd_bing.jpg".

You should find the daily Bing Wallpaper images via one of the following paths. I'm not sure if the hash after "BingWallpaper_" may change on a user-by-user basis, though...

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.BingWallpaper_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\images\Bing

C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.BingWallpaper_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\images\Bing

Alternatively, you can browse to: C:\Users%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages

Then search that directory for ".jpg" to find all of your recent Bing wallpaper, as well as cached images from other programs, e.g. Minecraft Education Edition, and Steam.
