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?

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
