Recently I suddenly discovered that when I clicked the All Programs, a lot of programs disappeared. How to resolve this problem? This problem arises when the system runs some system optimization software or is infected with a virus. If just individual programs disappear, you can choose to fix this problem manually. Feb 20, 2016 I ran into the strangest thing last night. Windows suddenly stopped being able to see many of my installed programs on one of my platter drives.

Jan 04, 2018 When you install a major Windows 10 update, you may reboot to find some of your programs missing. Yes, Windows 10 may remove your programs without asking you–but you can get them back pretty easily. Aug 28, 2015 Hi, Ive just updated to windows 10. After doing so i realized all of my programs have disappeared, even microsoft office. They seem to have been moved to a windows.old folder. Why's that???

Windows 10 Download
I recently upgraded to windows 10 however after the download some of my programs had disappeared (not all of them). Some of the ones that disappeared included steam, malware bytes and google chrome. Some that stayed included MS office 2013, ccleaner and CPUID. After some research I found a windows.old folder which I assume is a backup of everything that was on W8.1. Something I found very strange was that all of my steam game icons were there however needed redownloading. Is it possible to just copy the whole steam folder from windows.old into the program files folder in windows 10 or will I have to redone load everything again? Could I also do this with any other programs or will they not work and is it recommended to delete windows.old? Thanks in advance.
Ps. If anyone could maybe tell me why this has happened then I would really appreciate it! Thank you!!!
