Do some applications disappear after installing the Fall Creators Update? For now these are the possible solutions

The arrival of Windows 10 Fall Creators is still very fresh. It was almost a week ago when Microsoft released the big update to Windows 10 this fall. On the horizon Redstone 4 back in spring and the usual bugs to be corrected.

And it is that despite much previous _feedback_ and many Builds that have been released within the Windows Insider Program, it is normal that errors may appear in the operation , in the day-to-day life of users, especially when it comes to an important update, far-reaching and distributed among so many people.Thus, some users have started to report a bug whereby some applications disappear from the operating system after installing the Fall Creators Update.

This is not the first time that an update has caused a problem of this type, although Microsoft has acted quickly and from the specific forums already offer a solution for the Affected users who have seen how the system's own applications and utilities have vanished, such as Calculator.

Invisible applications can't be launched via the current shortcut but they also don't even show up in searches That has led some to think about re-downloading them from the Windows Store, encountering another problem: the system tells them that they cannot since they are already installed. We have them on the PC but they are invisible.

The solution that right now is provided by the company and in the absence of a solution in the form of an update that ends with the problem requires following a series of steps to restore the applications affected.

Fix or reset missing apps

• "First of all, choose to repair or restore the missing applications, for which we will have to go to the Settings section and select Applications."
• "In the Applications and features tab we must locate the missing application."
• "We _click_ on the application and select Advanced Options."
• "If the Repair option is available, press it."
• "If this option is not available, or does not solve the problem we can try the Reset option, taking into account that the application data may be lost."
• Once the repair or reset is complete, the app should reappear in the app list and can be pinned to the Start menu.

Uninstall and reinstall missing apps

• "We open Settings and select Applications."
• "In the Applications and features tab we must look for the name of the missing application. We _click_ on the application and select Uninstall."
• "We open the Windows Store to reinstall the missing application."
• Once installed, the app should appear in the app list and may be pinned to the Start menu.

Third option

"The problem is that these two steps may not be useful and may not yield positive results. If this is your case, there is no other option than to use a process that leads us to use the PowerShell console:"

"In Cortana we must write PowerShell and when it returns the search results we must _click_ with the right mouse button on PowerShell and select Run as administrator. In the window that opens we must write the following commands:"

• reg delete ?HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TileDataModel\Migration\TileStore? /va /f
• "get-appxpackage -packageType bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + \appxmetadata\appxbundlemanifest.xml)}"
• $bundlefamilies=(get-appxpackage -packagetype Bundle).packagefamilyname
• "get-appxpackage -packagetype main |? {-not ($bundlefamilies -contains $_.packagefamilyname)} |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + \appxmanifest.xml)}"

Once written, applications should reappear among installed apps and thus be functional again. And we say it should, since from Microsoft they affirm that this solution is not 100% effective, so if it is your case and it does not work for you, there will be no other choice but wait for the solution in the form of a patch that solves the problem.
