Hello!

I have a problem with Windows 10. These following days, I've noticed that there are icons that are missing (Edge, Sticky Notes, Mail, etc.). I have also noticed that they are windows apps that are missing, other apps such as Chrome, Photoshop, and other applications that are not from Microsoft are not missing.

 

I have already tried doing SFC in command prompt but it doesn't seem to work.

 

And I can still use the apps by the way.

 

OS Ver:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.165]

 

Hardware
Acer Aspire E5-475G-51DL

Intel Core i5 7t Gen - 7200U  @ 2.5GHz
1TB Toshiba HDD
8GB DDR4 RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX - 4GB VRAM

please clarify the problem. 

 

are the shortcuts gone or just the icons? do they still exist in the start menu?

The icon is missing (taskbar) but I still can use the app itself

have you tried restarting your pc? 

 

if that didn't work go into task manager, then to more details or something (don't know exactly, i'm using my MacBook right now), find Windows Explorer, select it and then click restart at the bottom right.

Yes already tried that. 

 

I have already even reinstall Windows 10 but nothing works. 

 

I don't even know what to do next.
