Windows 10: Deleted files and programs in Windows 10

Hi, I'm having issues with windows 10. It seems some apps like what's app, Dropbox and google have been deleted. This has happened twice. Also, some files from my Dropbox are being deleted (but I could restore them). I looked over the internet about this issues and it seems I have to use the command prompt to initiate sfc scan but the cmd it's not displayed in the start menu and I need to run the cmd as an administrator.


So, I was looking at how to download the start menu troubleshooter to fix that problem but the links provided in other questions are not working.

Can someone help me?

:)

Let me try what you guys suggested, i am willing to pay for the program to get the files back.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

how to get rid of program from windows xp?

check your documents files and delete anything there for it. (save folders for games often go there)

open up "c'drive/programs" and manually delete the game folder there, it may be under game company name.

now go add/remove programs and it should say something about files not found and do you want to delete it from list. lastly use a reg cleaner to clean out any windows prefetch files for game.

the prefetch files are often where they put in dated dissable files to stop demos from working forever
