Bonus:
If you want to extract old apps from older Windows 10 Builds, listen.
1. Open a virtual machine, Either, VirtualBox (Free) or VMWare (Paid)
2. After setup, add a shared folder so that you can test out the apps using VBox Guest Additions or VMWare tools.
3. Go to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps
4. If you can't access, go to Properties by right-clicking, and then go to security and changing your name on it.
5. You'll see something like "Microsoft.Windows.Photos_16.1118.10000.2000"
6. Open the folder that has AppxManifest.xml on it
7. Download WSAppBak, a program that turns folders to appx.
8. After unzipping, run the program.
9. Follow the steps of the program, be sure to use the folder that has AppxManifest.xml on it.
10. Your done. You can also share it here.
Be sure, that you must uninstall the latest version of the UWP app using HiBitUninstaller. Then, you can proceed. Windows Store and Phone Companion App Is tested on 22H2 and confirms that they do not work anymore.
To make it a bit more accurate, go to settings, turn system icons on or off.
Disable these things that are not featured in Windows 10 RTM:
Input Indicator
Touch Keyboard
Windows Ink Workspace
Touchpad
Microphone
Meet Now
Now, it should look like this:
Start Menu
Search Page
No Settings Header
Old Action Center Layout with old names of quick actions like this: RTM: Quiet Hours, 22H2: Focus Assist
Changing the task view icon and action center icon (got lines in RTM version). Except for the help of shortcuts (Only Task View)
