Windows 10: My apps has disappeared from the home screen randomly I've searched most of the internet...

If you have anything please comment!

Windows Search on Taskbar goes full-screen randomly

I'm running Windows 10 Pro (x64) v. 2004 build 19041.572

This problem only occurred after the latest feature update... ergo updating to 2004 release.

The problem is still very random and eventually fixes itself (supposedly) but the steps to reproduce are not identifiable at this time. It seems all the more likely to happen during a fresh session (i.e post-reboot, cold boot). It always happens at least once per session until it stops.

The problem itself is that the actual search "box" (rectangle?) or container actually grows tall enough to reach the top of my screen and also blacks out the rest of my screen... so all I see is the search box and the suggestions. This only happens when you actually try to search for something so it's not randomly activating itself but the buggy appearance does occur randomly when making the search active... if that makes sense.

Anyone run into this kinda issue yet? See below for screenshot. Yes, that is my full screen 1980 x 1020

if I do not post back soon enough... it's probably due to cloudfare not agreeing with my VPN as of late, it's been refusing my traffic solely due to my IP....

 

The 'Photos' app for photo viewing has disappeared.

I do not understand this, when I returned to the PC later today my original settings had returned to the start screen, including one other tile which I had also lost but had not yet re-instated. Also the original list of 'All apps' had returned to the start
screen, including 'Photos'. There is nothing that I am aware of having done that should have caused the original disappearance of some apps from the 'All apps' list and their associated tiles, or that could have caused them to return.

It has therefore been unnecessary to follow your suggested steps, though I have done so anyway and it works as suggested. Note that I had followed your steps 1 & 2 earlier which is why I knew 'Photos' had not disappeared from the PC but was simply not
visible on the 'All apps' list and hence my inability to re-pin the tile.

Thank you for your reply and understanding my frustration.

 

Most used apps list in start menu appears and disappears randomly upon restart.

When i restart my windows 10 pro the most used apps list in the start menu disappears and appears randomly. sometimes after a restart it disappears and when i lunch any app it gets added to the most used list and then when i restart again it appears empty
again.

And in other times after i restart it appears normally with a full list of my most used apps from before. how to fix this annoying issue?
