Windows 10: Lost Apps after Microsoft 'upgrade'

All my APPS, except any Microsoft-generated ones, disappeared from my PC's tablet view after I accepted to install the Microsoft Windows 10 'upgrade'.

I spent an hour resetting the apps I most frequently used.


I shut down my computer and when I reopened it the same Microsoft default APPs showed but none of the ones I re-set.


Do I try again or do I have to make do with using the APP menu list?

:)

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
