KB5035941: Windows 10 gets new Lock Screen widgets and Windows Spotlight desktop backgrounds

In addition to releasing the Windows 11 "Moment 5" update to all users, Microsoft pushed out a new non-security update for those still rocking Windows 10 version 22H2 (the only Windows 10 version getting non-security updates). The latter received KB5035941 with build number 19045.4239. It includes the recently spotted new lock screen widgets (coming to Windows 11 as well), the ability to set Windows Spotlight as your desktop background, and more.

Here are the KB5035941 highlights:

• New! This update adds Windows Spotlight to your desktop background. This feature displays new images as your desktop wallpaper. If you want to know more about an image, click or tap the Learn More button, which takes you to Bing. To turn on this feature, go to Settings > Personalization > Background > Personalize your background. Choose Windows spotlight. Note: This feature might not be available to all users because it will roll out gradually.
