when i open my computer there is a picture of a location. I would like to know where the picture was taken. I try to right click on it but that does not provide me with a feature detailing this information. How do I find that out.

I also don't understand the tag, child tag and child item tag requirements so I just selected as best I could.

    To easily find the location, from the main desktop screen press Windows + L keys (at the same time), which returns you to the lock screen with all the info!

    I used bing image, best is to snip the image and paste in "search using an image"

    Hiello, Derrick, happy to help you find the location in your Windows Spotlight picture. Did you want to check it directly from the lock screen or save the image first?

    To find it:

    • Go to C:\Users[YourUserName]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
    • Copy the files to another folder and add .jpg to the file names
    • Open the images to see the Spotlight pictures
    • Use Bing Visual Search or Google Images to identify the location

    The tag and child tag prompts are not needed for this. They are for internal image categorization. Hope it helps!

    Best regards, Arlene D.
