Windows default apps on server such as Gamebar, photos, Xbox app

Trevor Monk 1

As odd as this may sound, I use Server 2019 for my personal home rig. I game, work, manage etc. You name it. I love 2019 Server, but I wish to have the ability to install certain apps such as Microsoft Photos and game bar/Xbox Services. I know this outside of general Windows support because it is more on the enterprise releases. Is there a .reg edit I can do? I have managed to get the Microsoft store installed. Thanks! I use server for privacy, and security so this is big for me.

Hi,

Windows Server is not available to install Windows Photo, instead to use paint. Also not available to install xbox. As I know, there is no official measure to install them.

I recommend to use Windows 10 2004 or 20H2, to experience those functions and other features.

Bests,
