    Cannot Get to Open Excel Files After Switching to Another App


    I installed Windows 10 2 days ago. I am using Excel, sometimes with 3 files open at once. If I switch over to a another program, I cannot get back to my Excel files. I have tried clicking the Excel icon in the Taskbar and then clicking the files, using File Explorer, Alt Tab, etc.. and cannot get to the files! I just keep getting the Desktop or the last app I was using. I eventually have to close Excel....then use another laptop to get my job done.

    can i restore my windows 7 after installing windows 10 ?

    Apps were removed while refreshing my PC. I cannot open Excel files, QuickBooks files or some picture files. Is there a way to get the apps back?
