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

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.

    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.

    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!

    Unfortunately this no longer works, Microsoft have updated to an even worse task bar arrangement.

    It is easy to get slideshow back.

    1. Open the Photos app. (Click on the magnifying glass in the launch bar and type photos).
    2. Within the Photos app go into settings by clicking the cog/gearwheel at the top.
    3. Near the bottom there is a button labelled "Get Photos Legacy". Click it and install Photos Legacy.
    4. Once installed, open explorer and navigate to the folder containing the images you want to slideshow.
    5. Right click on an image, select Open With and choose to open with Photos Legacy.
    6. And here you are - the old photos app you know and love - right-click the photo and you will see the slideshow option on the menu.

    If you want your photos to always load in photos legacy rather than the new app, then in step 5 above click open with > Choose another app > Select photos legacy and check the "always use this app to open .jpg files" option.

    I hope this helps?
