Slide Show in Windows 11

The instruction panel is too small and the icons are therefore impossible to distinguish.

You can get the ribbon UI back in 22H2 using this new method. However, there are some drawbacks, such as 1) you lose the Explorer tabs feature, 2) you can't restart the Explorer.exe shell using TaskMgr. Alternatively, you can add a "View Slide Show" command to the right-click menu.

This is no longer helpful. There has been an update to MS Win11 that removes the registry files that would allow the old File Explorer Slideshow to operate in the WIN11 environment. I had mine altered and a few months ago the MS update wiped the fix off my PC. Now I have no slideshow (NO, not the lock-screen or background slideshows. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!)

My complaint is to Win11 developers. Why would this be removed? And the Photos APP is not that great. I used to be able to quickly create a slideshow by highlighting several folders of sorted photos and clicking "Open in Slideshow" and it ran great. This didn't go out on the net, and there was never an update to the program. It was not a security risk. To me, the Win11 dev team seems to have purposely removed this service because they are either hoping to bring in something better or they are just torturing us in some cruel ingenious way. I refuse to believe that MS has such cruelty among it's employees! They work so hard to make these systems safe, reliable and fun to use. SO, i'm thinking they have something good coming down the road. Please don't disappoint me MS.

I have tried 3rd party apps. All are disappointing. They all want you to do things with your slideshow... create a disc, upload it to the cloud... set music to it and sacrifice a fruit cake or something. I just want a "On-The-Fly-Slideshow". It can't be that hard. But I guess it is. We have apps for just about everything...except that.

My bad. It's there now. It wasn't a few moments ago, but it's there now. Thanks
