My desktop picture changes occasionally. I love the pictures, but how can i tell where and what the picture is?

If you right click on desktop and then look at the view tab - ensure that Show Desktop icons is enabled and then you should see an image like this on your desktop. I keep it in the top right hand corner for my easy access.

If you click that you can find the answer and other wonderful photos

Right click on your desktop - Explore Background

I've found that the image when the desktop locks and what is on the background are often different. The lock screen has a "learn more" or "like what you see?" feature but for the background, I just take a picture with my phone and ask ChatGPT, Gemini or similar what it is and it tells me more more info.

Hi James, I get why you’d want to know more about those beautiful desktop pictures. What’s happening is that Windows uses Spotlight or a slideshow feature to rotate images automatically, and these pictures don’t always show their details upfront. The easiest way to check is to right-click your desktop, choose Personalize, and look under Background to see if it’s set to Windows Spotlight or a folder slideshow. If it’s Spotlight, you can usually find info by going to Settings > Personalization > Lock screen, where there’s often a “Like what you see?” link that gives details about the image. If it’s a slideshow, the source folder will be listed in the same Background settings. Would you like me to walk you through finding the actual file location of these images or help you identify the place shown in the photo?

Found a solution myself. Just do a screen shot and copy it to Copilot. He knows most everything.
