Microsoft released a Windows 10 Fall Creators update last weekend. The company is gradually rolling out an update for users and some initial issues about the update have begun to appear.

Notably, this is not the first time a major update of Windows 10 has damaged users' applications or installed operating systems.

This time, the problem caused system applications such as Calculator and other applications to disappear from the operating system, users cannot run them from the Start menu or search Cortana. However, when searching for Microsoft / Windows Store applications, the store will announce that these applications are installed on the computer and can be opened from the store.

Microsoft has not yet released a formal fix for this issue, but the company has provided users with a relatively simple solution by resetting the affected application or uninstalling it completely and then Reinstall them. However, the most effective way to bring the application back is by re-registering them using PowerShell.

If you lose many applications, professional users can restore all those applications at once by using the following PowerShell commands. However, note that if you perform steps 1 and 2 but do not restore missing applications, this PowerShell solution fails.

Step 1: In Cortana, type PowerShell. In the search results, right-click Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator .

Step 2: In the Powershell window type the following commands. These steps may take several minutes to complete.

reg delete 'HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionTileDataModelMigrationTileStore' / va / f
get-appxpackage -packageType bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($ _. installlocation + 'appxmetadataappxbundlemanifest.xml')}
$ bundlefamilies = (get-appxpackage -packagetype Bundle) .packagefamilyname
get-appxpackage -packagetype main |? {-not ($ bundlefamilies -contains $ _. packagefamilyname)} |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($ _. installlocation + 'appxmanifest.xml')}

Step 3: When the PowerShell commands are completed, the application will appear in the application list and can be pinned to the Start menu.

I wish you all success!
