Windows 11 may get AI-powered desktop wallpapers

Microsoft may introduce an AI-powered feature for dynamic desktop wallpapers in Windows 11, reports Windows Latest. The feature, found in preview versions under the name “Dynamic Wallpaper,” doesn’t work yet, but is described as a background that automatically updates based on the user’s choice.

This could involve selecting a theme or category, and Windows then changing the background depending on the time of day or other signals. Microsoft has previously trialled similar ideas, such as animated backgrounds and parallax effects to add depth and life to the desktop, but these have not been launched.

It’s not yet clear whether the new feature uses AI to modify images or just switches them automatically.
