why this picture in this folder Windows\Notifications\wpnidm?

Thanks! I have many pictures for my Desktop, there's a slideshow of many good images =)

I am not too sure about how your Windows 10 Start will remember the pictures if we delete all the pictures from that folder and block it from seeing if there's pictures or not. I don't recommend doing that really.

Edit. Try Bree's idea first.

See what happens if you do this:
1) Rename wpnidm to wpnidm1
2) Restart the computer
3) Press Start
4) Does everything look normal?

I have 75 in mine, and all of them are at least 10 months old. Theses are the images used for the live tiles on Start. I normally have all my live tiles turned off, but as a test I've just turned on live tile for News. Sure enough, three new images appeared in my %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications\wpnidm folder, each of which are shown in the News live tile.

I have 1 (count it: one) in mine. I have all tiles turned off.
