On Xbox Series S, the Games and Apps is gone from dev mode. Can I get it back?

I purchased a license and activated DEV MODE on the Xbox Series S, with the purpose of running some SNES games I definitely own... But part of the procedure involves using the Games and Apps tab to set Retroarch as a game. Without that, it doesn't have access to all the system resources. The problem is that the tab disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. Anyone have the knowledge to fix this? I really don't want to reset my Xbox to factory just because of that... thanks

I couldn’t find a good roundup that covered both of these and didn’t want to add clutter to the front page with two posts.
From The Verge:
-
Microsoft’s new $549 Surface Laptop Go aims to compete with Chromebooks
-
Microsoft’s updated Surface Pro X has a faster processor and new platinum color option
The Surface Pro X seems like just a spec bump, so there isn’t too much interesting there. But the Surface Laptop Go is interesting. The base model is absolute garbage (4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of EMMC storage) but the other models are somewhat decent.
The overall design of the Surface products is really striking. I honestly think they look much more modern and clean than Apple’s laptops. I also really love that they are offering colors. I wish Apple would offer more colors than just gray, silver and pink/gold on their laptops.

We are almost in a new generation of consoles and was just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on each offering. Some questions to prompt (but feel free to just share what's at the top of your mind):
Have you preordered a system?
Which system do you think looks best to you and why?
How will these systems impact gaming on PC?
Would you get the digital or disc version?
Will these consoles affect Nintendo's plans?
Has Microsoft re-claimed any of their lost momentum from the Xbox One launch?
What features are most important to you?
If you aren't planning on buying at launch, is there something you are waiting for?
