Windows 10: Recover installed apps after advanced startup

As the title suggests, I did an advanced startup and after it was done, all installed programs were gone.I needed to do one to enable a setting which I forgot what it's called and assumed that it was just a restart.Since it asked if I wanted to keep my files I thought it was fine since I thought that it included program files.I already tried the built-in recovery system but the earliest return point was already a day after the advanced startup.Is there any way to recover these programs by myself or do I need to contact a professional.

:)

 

Startup programs not launching on startup

Replying to Brink none of that works here is why-
Step 1- No items listed in startup on task manager as stated.
Step 2- I dont have shell:Startup on the pc as it cannot be located
Step 3- I dont understand that option also the startup folder cannot be found
Step 4- No apps showing under startup on settings
Step 5- Dont have access to advanced options at all for any apps
Step 6- Doesn't work.

Thanks for trying

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

windows 10 no advanced-startup-options, so no startup settings

when i did 1. 2. 3. steps i checked and problem was SOLVED
but after 4. 5. 6. 7. steps i checked and no advanced startup options again

1. Make a complete backup image of your current HD including all partitions to an external HD using macrium reflect . Once done, disconnect all USB devices from the PC. Assuming now you only have one HD connected to the PC which you will be installing Windows.
   IMPORTANT: Also create a Macrium Rescue disk to boot from later on.
2. Boot up your Windows installation USB/DVD. On the first screen, Hold SHIFT + F10 to open Command Windows then type:
   Diskpart
   select disk 0
   clean
   exit
3. Click Next, Choose Custom, select the unallocated partition then click Next (Do not format), when asked for Product ID key, click on "Skip this step"/"Do it later". Continue the Installation.
4. Once done. With the external HD connected, Reboot your PC with the Macrium Rescue disk, select the image that you created in step 1 as the Source.
5. Select your current HD/SSD as Destination disk
6. Restore only C: Drive to it. ie. overwrite the new C: Drive with your backup C: Drive.
   NOTE: See screen shot on how to perform this step
7. Disconnect all the external devices. Reboot. Windows should perform a startup repair.
