New free wallpaper pack now available for download

Microsoft has just released a new free wallpaper pack on the Microsoft Store, providing Windows 10 users with more customization options for their desktops.

While a wallpaper pack is by no means something that should blow your mind, the collection of photos that Microsoft included in the so-called Artistic Endeavors does include high-quality images that would definitely look good on the desktop.

“These calming brushstrokes of birds, flowers, and landscapes are pretty as a picture - or 20 - in this free 19-image set from Windows 10 Themes. These images are to be used as desktop wallpaper only,” Microsoft says in the description of the wallpaper pack (via WL).

For PC only

Needless to say, despite being published on the Microsoft Store, the wallpaper pack can only be used on a PC, and it does not offer support for other platforms, like phone or HoloLens.

Setting one of the photos included in the Artistic Endeavors as wallpaper on the desktop is easy. Just download the pack from the Microsoft Store and then head over to the Settings app > Personalization > Themes > Apply a theme. A new Artistic Endeavors entry should be there and clicking it instantly changes the desktop wallpaper.

On the other hand, if you want to find other wallpapers, you can look either on the Microsoft Store or simply search online for high-quality photos.

Microsoft publishing such content on the Microsoft Store is certainly useful for Windows 10 adopters, though at this point the number of wallpapers and themes that can be used on a PC is still rather small. The company occasionally releases fresh content for its users, and we’ll let you know when this happens.

As an alternative, you can use the high-quality lock screen backgrounds downloaded by Windows Spotlight on the desktop too, and click this link to learn how to do this.
