Missing apps: Store, People, Photos, Games & Camera on upgrading to 10

Thanks for replying spunk. That's the 'alphabetical' list I was referring to, none of these apps are in that 'All apps' list. Any more suggestions?

 

When I take a photo of myself with my laptop camera, what directory is it placed in?

By default, your pictures should appear in your Pictures\Camera Roll folder. If they aren't there, follow these steps to figure out where they are being saved:

1. Take a picture with the camera app.
   
2. Click the thumbnail of the picture you just took at the bottom right of the app.
   
3. When the photo viewer opens, click the three dots (...) at the top right and select "File Info".
   

A panel will then appear and it will tell you the directory where your picture is located.

If you created your account picture by going to your account settings and then selecting "create your picture -> camera", then the picture will not have been stored in your camera roll. It will be located in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures as mentioned by @kicken.

 

Photos dissappeared from folder

Hi I hope someone can help me, I'm running Windows 10 and had loads of photo folders in pictures which have just dissappeared. I've tried everything I've read but can't find them or restore them in anywhere.

I found I had the issue when I bought an external hard drive to back them up and to my horror they are all gone!

Any suggestions or anyone had this issue and resolved it!

All sub folders with photos in on the desktop are still there.

Thanks in advance
