Wallpapers are a great way to customize your Windows PCs or any other device. Most devices come with a default set of wallpapers, but these are usually fairly limited.
On Windows, you get a few choices and may also download wallpapers from the Internet or the Microsoft Store.
A third option is provided by Microsoft’s official Design website. The Wallpapers section there hosts plenty of official Windows wallpapers and them some.
Want some examples? Microsoft Create, 10th Anniversary Windows Insider Program, Windows 11 Themes, Windows Dev Home, and a lot more.
The downloads contain just the wallpapers. Not all of them are for Windows apparently. When I downloaded the Design Week wallpaper package, I got smartphone wallpapers.
The tenth year anniversary of the Windows Insider program contained Windows wallpapers for regular and wide screen monitors.
There is no option to find out what each package contains. Microsoft does not provide any information on that. This is problematic, as you may be downloading packages that you cannot really use.
Many other wallpaper sites do that better, as they provide information about resolutions as well as filters to limit results to matching wallpapers.
Still, the site is free and interesting especially for users who saw a wallpaper in one of Microsoft’s presentations or teasers.
All in all, nice that Microsoft is offering these as free downloads for all users. You do not need a specific version of Windows to download these. If you run Linux, a Mac, or another device, you can download these as well.
What is your take on wallpapers? Download new ones regularly? Maybe even run software that downloads and sets wallpapers automatically? Feel free to leave a comment down below.
I don’t do much with my wallpaper. I had the original Windows 11 for at least a year. I changed it recently when I found a great photo of the Lavender Fields in Provence, France. The one on my Windows 10 laptop shows the Hobbit Homes in New Zealand. Colorful. Doesn’t get in the way of Fences and icons. It’s been forever since I change that one.
I use deep red images for wallpaper on my pc screens. It’s good for your eyes. Look it up.
Then just search for “red and black wallpaper”.
I use the same wallpaper on Windows 11 and Android. It is a sexy picture of a hot singer that used to act. She keeps her mouth shut on politics and social issues. At least it does not seep into the news. She is like human Schrödinger’s cat. I am sure she has her crazy issues like most people in Hollywood, but as long as I do not know about them, I can enjoy her wallpaper.
