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

2022-08-04T15:15:25+00:00 Glad it helps Bob, I really do think Windows 11 is a great upgrade. I just hope they make it available for all processors. My home desktop is only 3 years old and it is not Windows 11 compatible, BOO!

Thank you a thousand times. A simple and effective solution. It greatly increases the chance that I'll upgrade dozens of NUCs to Win 11.
