Windows 10: Games Explorer removed during latest update

A few days ago, my computer updated to W10 v1803 (build: 17134.48)Now I can no longer find Games Explorer. It's been removed from my system.

Talking w/a Microsoft representative, I ran the Microsoft Update Troubleshooter. All that did was reset to default some of MY customizations & it didn't help me at all.

I even tried the older way: Win+R to bring up the Run command, typed shell:games & hit Enter. I received this error message: "Windows cannot find shell:games'. Make sure you typed the name correctly & then try again".
Not everyone has/even wants to use an XBOX! Anyone know why Microsoft got rid of Games Explorer & if I can get it back?
