Windows 10: Whole paragraphs disappear regardless of the program or app I am using

Whether I am typing a document, or I am writing a comment to a video in YouTube. I can be 4 or 5 sentences into what I am writing, and then poof, it goes away, disappears, and sometimes the undo shortcut doesn't work, and I lose it completely.I am using Windows 10 64 bit, on a Dell Inspiron 3793. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Sincerest Mitch N.

Disappearing apps and programs

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: Follow these steps to check that.

• Press Windows key + W and type
  Date and Time.
• Select Set Date And Time.
• Click on Change Date And Time Button to change date and time.
• Click on Change Time Zone button to change Time Zone.

Method 2: I would suggest you to run App troubleshooter.

• Type ‘Troubleshooting’ in the search next to start.
• Click on ‘View All’ on left side and select Windows store Apps’.
• Follow the onscreen instructions.

Method 3: I would suggest you to reset Windows store.

• Right click on start and select ‘RUN’.
• In the Run window, type WSReset.exe and click “Ok”.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

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.

 

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.
