    Clearly my settings are messed up as when I shut down, 1903 updated all on its own. ****! I'm so sick of Microsoft doing this kind of stuff.


    Regardless, now a bunch of app tiles are gone from my start menu, and I can not even find any trace of them on my HDD at all. Right now they are the Win7 versions of Solitaire, Minesweeper, etc... from Winaero's "Windows 7 Games for Windows 10 and 8". How do I get it back, or do I have to track down the installation file online (if it is still available), download them, install them, and then put the tiles back into my Start Menu?


    What the heck Microsoft? Why do you always presume to tell people how they should use their systems???

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Photo app is gone


    @Lenoveo, it's actually named 'Photos' with an 's'. Is it really missing, or is it just the Tile on Start that's gone? Try typing photos in the Cortana/Search box next to Start and see if it finds it. If it does appear in the list you can right-click on it and 'Pin to Start' (or the taskbar). If it doesn't, try Brink's 'App reset' tutorial.

    Win10 update tonight 1809? and everything is GONE. Apps, favourites software, gone.

    Hi, im in Australia and not very computor savy and tonight my laptop did an automatic update that took hours. When i finally logged back in it was almost as though i had wiped my drive and reloaded windows. I have now read that a lot of people had lost documents
    but my machine has lost a lot more and i cant seem to find anyone else with the same issue. There is now a folder on the desk top and it contains a masive list of all the removed items. For example, its an accer laptop and all of accers stuff is on the list,
    my vpn, itunes, all my canon printer apps the list just goes on and on. When i open IE all my home pages were gone the favorites bar across the top gone. It seems anything not microsoft is gone. If i double click on an item in the list it takes me to the web
    site of the missing app. I have no idea what to do now? Can i undo the update and get my stuff back? My desk top only has about 4 folders on it now. What the hell has happened and am i the only one. I think my trendmicro is gone as well but im not game to
    turn it back on. Please microsoft can you tell me how to fix it.

    kind regards, stuart.
