Version 1709 Build 16299.15 Apps disappeared
I had probably about 200 apps and internet shortcuts pinned to the start screen. After installation of Version 1709 Build 16299.15 all of my store apps disappeared from my system. Every single one of...
i solved mine as long as you have the store there is a way to reinstall them. to uninstall apps go to settings and in the apps find any microsoft store app and click it then click uninstall then go into the microsoft store and install it again. there were a lot of issues with the automatic install mine would never even get past getting updates ready for install app issue is most likely the app are not getting put in the start menu is the operating system is a different version than the store has them listed a for just restore to before update uninstall all store apps then use manual installer for website the install them again later this will fix it for sure. my apps are working and i only uninstalled them in settings then installed them again but do the restore then uninstall then update then install apps for a definite fix
When I installed 1709 I too found that apps were missing, including the Store! So all steps to recover by uninstalling and using Store to reinstall were of no avail.
That is, until I found a way to run the Store from the command line.
cmd.exe /c start "" "ms-windows-store:"
When I used this command exactly I had the store from which I could reinstall my various apps.
Hopefully, Microsoft will release either a windows update to just fix this or at least a new version of Store to at least fix that.
For now I just have a shortcut on my desktop with the above command that I am using in temporarily.
- that's good to here! i still at least had the store but no othet app whould show up but store said they were installed
