Games missing in W7 (Enterprise and maybe others)

#1 Post by RealBlackStuff » Thu Nov 01, 2012 8:14 am

To get your Windows games in W7, when they were 'left out' during install, this is how to get them back:
- click Start/Search and type in CMD.EXE
- rightclick CMD and select 'Run as Administrator'
- in the CMD window, type in: dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:InboxGames
- hit Enter and wait a few moments
- games are now installed in the Games directory on your Start menu
- enjoy!

That is a pretty cool way to do it. I always did it the old fashioned way:
- Click Start and type in Turn Windows
- Click on Turn Windows Features on or off
- Put a check mark next to games
- click OK.
