  1. Windows 10 apps missing after 20H2 upgrade


    After the 20H2 upgrade I lost several of the apps that come standard with windows such as Microsoft Store and Photo Viewer.


    Tried resetting the system. After the reset Microsoft Store and Photo Viewer still are missing.


    Created a new account and the apps did not appear. The apps are missing in all accounts.


    Ran the SFC scan, which did not find any issues.


    Ran the Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Windows.Photos Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"} command using PowerShell with administrator rights. This command ran without producing any errors but, the apps did not appear after rebooting.


    I read and tried numerous posts, but, none worked. Based on the number of queries on this, there should be some knowledge on the possible causes and fixes. Posts tend to be guesses and a lot of "try this and see what happens" but no systematic way of discovering & fixing the issue. And the standard do a full reset doesn't work either.


    Any meaningful suggestions appreciated. Not to be too negative, but, please do not respond if you don't have actual knowledge of the issue and successful experience fixing this problem. No "try this and see what happens" please.


    After the reset, I am at the following version;

    Edition Windows 10 Pro

    Version 20H2

    Installed on ‎12/‎31/‎2020

    OS build 19042.685

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

    :)

    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?

    I doubt it is a glitch. I suspect it was designed that way.

    I would suggest waiting until M$ fixes this glitch. There's nothing much you're missing in 20H2 - I'm not installing in myself right now.
