Just wait for @z3r010 ...as far as I know you can register on TenForums.
He may be working on the server or something.

Or he may be having his first cup of coffee for the day. He should be on shortly.

My script as posted on TenForums stopped working a while back, because the Discord server no longer provides the download files.

GOOD NEWS. I found an alternate download source on github.io, and made major changes to the install script.
  • Games Explorer can be restored to W10 1803 (or later) and W11 hosts, and it won't break after applying any updates.
  • Language support works for non-English US locales. The script will download and extract MUI files from the W10 1709 Language Packs.
  • Fixed a major flaw in how everyone was try to install Games Explorer, which breaks W11 Explorer and Classic Ribbon.
  • Removed the need to use ExecTI, PsExec or PowerRun to install or uninstall Games Explorer.
  • Added option for a clean uninstall.
Run the new script as Administrator:
Code: 
powershell -ep bypass -f RestoreUX.ps1
or
powershell -ep bypass -f RestoreUX.ps1 -Uninstall

If you're not already Administrator, the script will re-run itself with Admin rights. Like the previous script, it creates a Games Explorer shortcut on every user's Desktop and you can open Games Explorer with "start shell:games".

There are no actual games included!! But you can install WinAero's Windows 7 Games for Windows 11 pack.

Technical details:

Everyone's trying to add the Games Explorer folder icon back into imagesresdll.mun. This can lead to two major problems:

1. Applying a W10 update or running sfc /scannow can remove the icon again.
2. This action breaks W11's Explorer, and you will lose the entire Navigation Pane (shown as blank). If you're using the Classic Ribbon hack under W11, the ribbon has black squares instead of toolbar icons.

There's no need to copy it into imageresdll.mun, because the same icon is available from gameux.dll. You can change two lines in the reg file, and now imageresdll.mun doesn't need to be touched. Which makes Explorer much happier, and easier to perform a clean uninstall.

The github.io source has the exact same files as extracted from a W10 1709 ISO. You can trust the ZIP file's contents.

If not, you can switch to the Wayback Machine's archived copy if you're suspicious someone might replace them (alternate URL in source code).
