Yes! That is what I have done.
I could do re-install Mail & Calendar and some more but still I can't get back MSN NEWS and some more apps.

maybe MS dosn't update for some apps yet.

      Thanks,

      I've tried Uninstall - Reboot - Install 'MSN NEWS'

      The app installed but it can not be pinned to Start 

      and It is not listed on Programs & Apps list.
      But, MS Store shows it has been installed.
      The MSN News app & some other apps can be launched from Store.

      So.. I just forget about to use those apps can not be shown on the menu and pinned to start .
