That is Windows 10 Build 21277 and newer. Microsoft new tweaks are currently locked away on the build as they are still experimenting. Starting with the lock screen, it has become an increasingly familiar part of the Windows 10 experience. However, aside from logging users into their PC, the lock screen does not do a lot. That said, the lock screen is very cool, especially if you have Microsoft’s Bing images providing the look. Speaking of looks, Microsoft is testing support for Parallax 3D effect on the Windows 10 lock screen. This means when devices are tilted, the Parallax 3D effect will kick in. Microsoft will allow users to turn off the effect if they want.

This looks like it will be a part of the Windows 10 21H2 update next year, so don’t expect much movement just yet. Spotlight is the tool Microsoft uses to switch Bing images on the lock screen. By extending it to desktop, users will be able to automatically change desktop wallpapers to see a different Bing image at intervals. I am amazed Microsoft has not already done this.
