Windows 10: After Windows10 reset, how to restore apps which were on non-system drive?

I have two drives on my PC, an SSD which I use mainly for Windows and a few core apps, and a 2TB HDD. Most of my really large apps ie games I installed on the HDD.My PC was starting to play up a bit, so I decided to try a Windows reset. I went for the option of keeping all my files and settings. Reinstalling the apps that were on the SSD should be no problem, but I don't know what to do about the apps that are on the external HDD. How do I re-map those installations so that my system will recognise them?For example I have a folder D:\Epic games. If I install Epic again and point it to D

System Restore & Backup For Windows10

What I mean is that in Windows7 there is a facility for auto-backup at certain dates (especially when Windows performs an update) from where one can restore the system to an earlier and trouble free state.

I noticed that there is no such auto system in Windows10.

Thank you.

How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

Windows 10 64-bit.
When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

Disk Cleanup through (C Properties
Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (C
Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

Any suggestions highly welcome.

 

All not Windows Apps are disappeart after system restore

After a restore or reset, all previous Restore Points are deleted. They have no relevance any more. This "List" of removed programs..... is it in a folder on your desktop? If so, it sounds like you did a Reset from the Recovery Menu. That option will retain your files and the Windows Store Apps, but none of your 3rd party (non-Windows) programs/apps. This is normal. Not what you want, but it's normal.

Look at the C: directory on your machine and see if you have a Windows.old folder. Reset will create one. If it's there, you may be able to go back by using the option to Restore to Previous Version in Recovery.
