Starting in Windows 8, the OS comes without the classic Windows 7 games. They are no longer included with Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. Here is a Windows 7 Games package which solves this issue. This Windows 7 Games package is compatible with all builds of Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.
It includes the following software:
For more details on how to install and use the games, check out this tutorial.
The package has been updated to version 3.1. It now supports Windows 11 and fixes the error "Error opening file for writing: C:\Windows\System32\en-US\cmncliM.dll.mui". The non-working Game Explorer will no longer be installed. The installer now supports HiDPI displays. Finally, the Internet Games set is now optional, since Microsoft has turned off the game servers, making it nearly impossible to play them.
The support for older Windows version, i.e. Windows 8.1/8 and Windows 10, remains intact. You can use this new version of the package on older Windows versions too.
The package can be installed in unattend mode. Use the /S command argument, where S is capitalized. Windows7Games_for_Windows_11_10_8.exe /S.
Games support the complete set of MUI (language packs), so they will run in your native language. The following languages are supported.
ar-SA, bg-BG, cs-CZ, da-DK, de-DE, el-GR, en-US, es-ES, et-EE, fi-FI, fr-FR, he-IL, hr-HR, hu-HU, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, lt-LT, lv-LV, nb-NO, nl-NL, pl-PL, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro-RO, ru-RU, sk-SK, sl-SI, sr-Latn-CS, sv-SE, th-TH, tr-TR, uk-UA, zh-CN, zh-TW

Microsoft has removed the classic calculator app starting in Windows 10 and replaced it with a new UWP app that receives updates from the Store. Many people aren't happy with this change. The classic app loaded faster, and was more useful for mouse and keyboard users. Here you can get the classic calculator back in Windows 11 and Windows 10.
This package supports Windows 11 and Windows 10 (both Windows 10 32-bit and Windows 10 64-bit).
The Calculator app will be revived completely, e.g. you will be able to launch it as "calc.exe" from the Run dialog or from the taskbar search box or from Cortana. It will have the same interface language as your operating system. If you will decide to revert to the Modern Calculator app, just uninstall the "Old Classic Calculator" app from the Settings -> Apps - > Apps & features.
It comes with almost the full set of MUI files, so it will be in your native language out-of-the-box. The following locale list is supported: ar-sa, bg-bg, cs-cz, da-dk, de-de, el-gr, en-gb, en-us, es-es, es-mx, et-ee, fi-fi, fr-ca, fr-fr, he-il, hr-hr, hu-hu, it-it, ja-jp, ko-kr, lt-lt, lv-lv, nb-no, nl-nl, pl-pl, pt-br, pt-pt, ro-ro, ru-ru, sk-sk, sl-si, sr-latn-rs, sv-se, th-th, tr-tr, uk-ua, zh-cn, zh-hk, zh-tw.
Starting with Windows 11 Build 26020, Microsoft has removed the classic WordPad editor from clean installs, and then removed it from existing installations with an update. So the app has gone and can't be reintalled from any official source. Microsoft has deprecated it and instists on using Word and Notepad instead of WordPad.
Here's the package that restores WordPad in Windows 11. It is built of genuine files that aren't tampered with. It will bring back the editor to your Start menu, and can also create a desktop shortcut if you want it.
This package supports Windows 11, and containts both 32-bit and 64-bit files.
The WordPad app will have two its classic commands, e.g. you will be able to launch it as "write.exe" and "wordpad.exe" from the Run dialog or from the taskbar search. It will have the same interface language as your operating system, as it comes with MUI resources. Finally, it supports an uninstaller, so you can uninstall this WordPad app from the Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
It comes with almost the full set of MUI files, so it will be in your native language out-of-the-box. The following locale list is supported: ar-sa, bg-bg, cs-cz, da-dk, de-de, el-gr, en-gb, en-us, es-es, es-mx, et-ee, fi-fi, fr-ca, fr-fr, he-il, hr-hr, hu-hu, it-it, ja-jp, ko-kr, lt-lt, lv-lv, nb-no, nl-nl, pl-pl, pt-br, pt-pt, ro-ro, ru-ru, sk-sk, sl-si, sr-latn-rs, sv-se, th-th, tr-tr, uk-ua, zh-cn, zh-hk, zh-tw. It doesn't install every single language, instead if checks what language you are using and extracts only the required files to save your disk space.
The Wordpad installer since version 2.0 not only extracts the files, but also does the following extra tasks:
Windows 11 provides by default a modern Notepad app with advanced features like tabs, auto-save documents, dark theme, a longer undo history, and much more. But yet many users prefer the classic Notepad without those enhancements. It works faster, starts faster, and more lightweight when it comes to system resources.
Here you can download the installer that adds the classic Notepad to Windows 11. It is built of genuine files from Windows 10 22H2 that aren't tampered with. The app can coexist with the modern one, and will be present in the Start menu, context menu in File Explorer, and can also have a desktop shortcut if you enable it in the installer.
This package containts both 32-bit and 64-bit files.
To work properly and handle file associations, you need to disable the app execution alias in Settings. When installing the Classic Notepad, you will be asked to open the Settings app, and turn off the alias manually. After that, the installer will register it for the classic app. So you'll be able to launch it as "notepad.exe" from the Run dialog. It will have the same interface language as your operating system, as it comes with MUI resources. Finally, it supports an uninstaller, so you can uninstall this classic Notepad app from the Settings > Apps > Installed apps.

But it doesn't install all available language files. Instead if checks what language you are using and extracts only the required files to save your drive space.
Starting in Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft replaced the classic desktop Sticky Notes app with a Universal app. For many users, the classic Desktop app is the more preferable option. It works faster, starts faster and has no Cortana integration.
Many prefer the good old classic Sticky Notes app because it consumes notably less system resources. It starts immediately and works much faster. The performance difference is especially visible on less powerful hardware like Atom and Celeron CPUs. The notes themselves are also a bit smaller, so users like their compact appearance more.
Here you can get the Classic Sticky Notes app for Windows 11 and Windows 10. This package fully supports Windows 11, as well as both Windows 10 32-bit and Windows 10 64-bit.

Windows 10 and Windows 8 assume that you use Task Manager for managing your startup apps. If you prefer to use the good old msconfig.exe tool for that, you must be aware that this feature is no longer included in Windows 10 and Windows 8. Here you can get classic msconfig.exe back in Windows 10 and Windows 8 that still includes the "Statup" option.
The installer inlcudes the classic msconfig.exe app with the startup tab in the msconfig UI so you will be able to manage your startup apps. It handles the "msconfig" command in the Run dialog. Also, it doesn't replace system files, instead it adds a new file, %windir%\system32\msconfig1.exe.
You can uninstall the app any time from Settings - Apps and features.

The classic Paint (mspaint) app taken from Windows 10 Build 14393. You can install it on Windows 11 and enjoy the faster and more usable image editor than the built-in one. Another good thing is that this Paint app doesn't include the "Paint 3D" button and Store promotion.
You will be able to launch it as "mspaint.exe" from the Run dialog or from the taskbar's search box or from the Start menu. No system files will be replaced. It will be installed alongside the default built-in Paint app.
You can even run them simultaneously. Just select the desired app shortcut from the Start menu, or launch both if you need. The Windows 10 version will be set as the default mspaint.exe app.
When installing, you'll be prompted to turn off the App execution alias in the Settings app. If you omit this step, you will have the default inbox mspaint.exe running by default.
Besides, the classic Paint will be integrated into Windows, so it will be available in the context menu of images. Also, you can set it as the default app for any of its supported formats.
It supports all Windows languages and locales, so its UI will be translated automatically. The installer detects what languages you have installed in your Windows, and will provide the appropriate MUI files automatically. It comes with the following locales:
af-za, am-et, ar-sa, as-in, az-latn-az, be-by, bg-bg, bn-bd, bn-in, bs-latn-ba, ca-es, ca-es-valencia, chr-cher-us, cs-cz, cy-gb, da-dk, de-de, el-gr, en-gb, en-us, es-es, es-ms, et-ee, eu-es, fa-ir, fi-fi, fil-ph, fr-ca, fr-fr, ga-ie, gd-gb, gl-es, gu-in, ha-latn-ng, he-il, hi-in, hr-hr, hu-hu, hy-am, id-id, ig-ng, is-is, it-it, ja-jp, ka-ge, kk-kz, km-kh, kn-in, ko-kr, kok-in, ku-arab-iq, ky-kg, lb-lu, lo-la, lt-lt, lv-lv, mi-nz, mk-mk, ml-in, mn-mn, mr-in, ms-my, mt-mt, nb-no, ne-np, nl-nl, nn-no, nso-za, or-in, pa-arab-pk, pa-in, pl-pl, prs-af, pt-br, pt-pt, quc-latn-gt, quz-pe, ro-ro, ru-ru, rw-rw, sd-arab-pk, si-lk, sk-sk, sl-si, sq-al, sr-cyrl-ba, sr-cyrl-rs, sr-latn-rs, sv-se, sw-ke, ta-in, te-in, tg-cyrl-tj, th-th, ti-et, tk-tm, tn-za, tr-tr, tt-ru, ug-cn, uk-ua, ur-pk, uz-latn-uz, vi-vn, wo-sn, xh-za, yo-ng, zh-cn, zh-tw, zu-za
