Windows 10: Windows 10 Apps & features not showing all installed apps

Hi.


Yesterday I tried to update my Windows 10 to a newer version version 2004, in the update it froze on 100%, and after a couple of hours I decided to force restart the computer. When I started up the operating system again it didn't boot properly, so something did happen in the update. So I needed to restore the operating system, but with the option of keeping the personal files. When I then started up the operating system some programs were still on the desktop. When I opened "Apps & features" it only showed standard windows apps, not my installed software. Also in the control panel's "Programs and Features" only the "Microsoft OneDrive" was displayed.

Some of the software was still functional, and some only showed a white paper icon and did not work.

Also, when installing new software it shows up in "Programs and Features".


I've tried to:

• Create another user
• Run the system file checker tool
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  • sfc /scannow

Anyone had similar problems, and how did you fix it? I hoped not to do a new reset with the option of removing everything.


Appreciates all the help I can get.

Windows 10 installing progs

Fresh install, upgrade... doesn't matter. This is a feature of Windows 10 unfortunately... They periodically install apps that they want to promote.

Windows 10 installing progs

I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to windows 10 from 7. I used the Media Creation Tool from MS website. It took awhile, but I am finally running Windows 10 (12-14).

I opened the new App & Program feature to remove programs that I no longer needed. Scrolling down the list, I was horrified! Apps that I didn't install somehow magically installed themselves. Two programs stood out: Facebook and Candy Crush Soda Saga. Both programs have those tale-tale icons that they came from Windows Store (which I've never even opened). The install date for both of them were on 12-26.

Is this a common thing for Windows 10? Or is it because I did an upgrade and not a clean install?

 

Windows 10 'All apps' does not display all apps!!!

Okay I jumped through all of your ridiculous hoops and I still do not have the majority of my installed software listed on the "all apps" start button. Step one, hidden files have been displayed on my PC since about windows 3.1... Step two, okay now
your grasping for straws but hey when you have no clue what you are talking about throw out the least helpful suggestions right? Scanned my pc and shockingly there were no issues (wow didn't see that coming)... Step three add a new profile - who writes your
help desk scripts? Do they know ANYTHING about windows? Fine whatever. added a new admin profile and guess what NO APPS! I installed HP scanner software fresh on windows 10 and it didn't show up in the all apps list either. Seriously you take away the
ability to edit the all apps list and then you don't even let our own apps populate the list. So here is my take away. The pre windows 10 compatibility check failed miserably by saying there were NO issues and I lost easily half my software anyway including
my KEYBOARD driver. The stuff that is still installed does NOT show up in the all apps. Maybe it should be named "all Microsoft apps only" and then you give us an all apps feature that actually works... I want detailed instructions on how to edit the all
apps section so my software can actually be on the list and I don't want anymore stupid hoops to jump through!
