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

2022-12-02T20:55:01+00:00 OMG...Somebody who feels the same way I do. I sure would like to know the process when developers decide to greenlight the changes that they do because I doubt they factor customer feedback into the equation, which is a headscratcher. What's making me uneasy is when certain features disappear out of the thin air, even without downloading a patch update to pin the changes on. It doesn't seem like a glitch but somebody accessing my computer and making changes to the software without my knowledge and/or consent.

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.
