Screw the previous guide, here's a proper and easy guide on how to get Game Explorer back. 1. Download all of these files 2. Put gameux.dll and gameuxlegacygdfs.dll into System32 3. Put gameux.dll.mui into System32\en-us 4. Put gameuxmig.dll into System32\Migration 5. Put files from 32bit.7z into Syswow64
6. Import all the .reg files using TrustedInstaller CMD 7. You can only open it with: shell:::{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52} 8. Adding stuff works properly: The icon being gone is an issue on 1809 and up. It used to be in imageres.dll
Doesn't work at all on my end, I'm on 1809 and did everything right, unless WinAeroTweaker's TrustedInstaller run trick is faulty, but I checked my Registry and it doesn't seem like something went wrong when importing the files And so when I try to open "shell:::{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52}", it still throws the error that says there isn't an app associated to open the link The same is happening to me and I don't know how to fix it

It should be on the 3rd page of this thread. Download that and import it as trustedinstaller.

In fact I did it but when I tried to run it as Trustedinstaller using Winaero Tweaker I never got the dialog asking if I wanted to add it to the registry or not. I don't know if I did something wrong or if it's normal but basically that's it.

Is it possible to edit shortcuts with a utility like Games Explorer Manager or VGEE once Games Explorer is restored?

6. Import all the .reg files using TrustedInstaller CMD VERY IMPORTANT! RECENTLY I'VE SEEN SOME REPORTS OF USERS BEING UNABLE TO OPEN IT, AFTER IMPORTING THE REGISTRY FILES. MAKE SURE YOU USE 64-BIT REGEDIT!!! 7TSP IS KNOWN TO REPLACE IT WITH THE 32-BIT VERSION!!!
7. You can only open it with: shell:::{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52} 8. Adding stuff works properly (Seems that only with UAC off, as discovered by Brawllux): The icon being gone is an issue on 1809 and up. It used to be in imageres.dll
How do i open the games there is no play option Attachments:

I'd love to be able to modify the shortcuts with a tool like Vista Game Explorer Editor, however it seems like these Game Explorer files work very differently because there is no GameUX key on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on regedit, perhaps that's what makes VGEE cancel the first run.

You could add it to the control panel or win+x menu instead or even pin it to start menu
