I was in the same position. I found this tutorial, and the necessary commands are in the comments sections.

It is very simple and takes File explorer back to the Windows 10 version.

Is there a way to get the windows slides show back in W11? I used it all the time and its gone. I don't mean the lock screen one, that's no good. I have left it too late to revert to W10 regretfully

2022-12-27T19:50:41+00:00 I couldn't find "Photo Legacy" in the Microsoft store, but I clicked on Search and searched for "Photo Legacy" and found "photo legacy download" which took me to a bing search and "Get Microsoft Photos Legacy from the Microsoft Store" came up. That brings up "Microsoft Photos Legacy" app (Photos plural). I downloaded and installed it, however, I don't see the "Slideshow" option when I'm in a FileExplorer window. How to I invoke the "Slideshow" to work from FileExplorer? Or do I have to view the images using the "Microsoft Photos Legacy" app only?
I have legacy set as my default app, and slideshow is within that program, I just open up that program, it shows me my Picture's folder I click on images and the slideshow option appears, cheers Len

2022-12-09T21:00:21+00:00 Glad it worked for you. This workaround did not work for me - it does not give me the ability to choose random photos to view as a temporary slideshow (usually to compare versions of photo edits to see which I prefer). Also it was a new computer that had never had any previous versions of Windows so some solutions were not applicable to my situation.
