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

Apreciate your time.
Looks like I will have to reinstall Window 10 sadly. 11 is a real downgrade in other ways as well. Total nightmare. Why do they take useful stuff out, do they just forget?

I don't really see this feature present in Windows 11;
You can revert to Windows 10 but you will only have 10 days to do so, if you exceed 10 days you cannot revert to Windows 10, just reinstalling Windows again;
I look forward to seeing you soon!

Thanks Luiz, but no, I'm referring to the slideshow that was in the file explorer. I know the background slideshow and that doesn't do what I need. In explorer, there was a button called picture tools and you could run a slideshow from multiple folders, and set the speed. I can't see that now. I know I'm not the only user. I just wish I could revert to Windows 10 without re-installing.
