Do you love how the wallpapers change dynamically on your Windows Lock Screen? Many people have asked me about how to get such dynamic wallpapers on the desktop. Sadly, Windows does not come with an inbuilt feature to fetch pictures from the internet and apply them as a desktop background. But in this post, we’ve covered 3 Windows apps that can dynamically change wallpapers on your desktop. These tools fetch wallpapers from various sources including Bing, NASA, Earth Science, and Windows Spotlight.
