Windows 10: Some of my apps/games not shown in programs and features

I planned to uninstall some apps going to control panel > Uninstall a program. As I was looking I noticed that some of my apps/games that were originally there were not shown anymore. Before this, I reset my laptop in settings which gave me the ability to keep some of my files. Any idea how I can make some of my games reappear

Windows 10 Game Apps

Based on the error you've received, this seems to be due to corrupted Store cache. We suggest manually resetting the Store app from the Settings menu. Here are the steps:

• Click Start, then Settings.
  
• Select System.
• Select Apps & features.
• Find the Store app, then click Reset.
• Click Reset again to confirm.
• Restart your device so that the changes will take effect. Sign in to the app. Launch the game and check if the same issue occurs.
  

We also recommend accessing the game from the Start menu. Here are the steps:

• Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of the main screen.
• Select All apps, and then find your game in the list. Check if you encounter the same issue.

We also recommend signing in to a different user profile. This can help determine if this is due to corrupted user profile. Here are the steps:

• Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon from the bottom-left corner of the main screen.
• Select your account name from the top-left corner of the menu, and then select Switch account.
• Sign in with an account other than the one you were using.
• Restart the game to see if it works correctly.

If you don't have a different user profile, kindly perform the steps provided on this link

Hi Amrit,

Issues with pinning an app in the Start menu may occur due to various reasons. It is possible that the Live Tile settings on Windows Store is disabled or there is an issue with the Start menu itself. To properly isolate your concern, please provide us the
following information:

• Can you access the game on the Xbox App?
• Have you enabled the Live Tile option for the game on the Windows Store settings?
  

In the meantime, follow the steps on this
link to pin your app in the Start menu.
