windows can't find applications after windows reinstallation.
i have 3 different drives. my c drive is where windows is installed, my e drive is where i put all of my games because they take up a lot of space, and my d drive is where i keep everything else, such as my applications except for steam.

i just did a clean reinstall of windows 10 (c-drive), and now it can't find some applications, right now i want to focus on one, which is steam (e-drive). so when i go to search it in the search bar, it just does not come up.
it has always been installed on my e drive with all of my games, but you gave me an idea and i might use the uninstall exe file that steam has to uninstall it, and then just reinstall it back into the drive.

so interestingly enough, apparently all it took was installing it into the same place it already was and i guess it just identified itself along with windows during the installation because now everything with it is fixed. thanks for the help!
hope this will work.
1. go to windows 8 start screen and launch store.
2. once store opens, right-click in empty space and you'll get an option at top to access "your apps" as shown in following screenshot:
3. click on it and it'll ask to sign in. sign in using your windows live id. it'll take a few moments and will show a screen containing list of built-in apps which have been uninstalled.
4. just click on the apps which you want to restore and then click on "install" button given at the bottom.
5. that should do it. it will take a few seconds and the selected apps will be installed again in your windows. hi so i did a full clean reinstall of windows 10 and now it works again. must have been a settings or some software that did not work well with spotify or sonos connect app or could have been drivers of some sort. thank you annazel s for giving me tips and helping me out even tough i was so slow replying to you. when you go into "control panel" and remove the driver, on the same screen, you should have the option to install the driver and let windows search for it for you. you need to change the boot order so it checks the HDD before the floppy, cdrom etc...



btw a new pc means you will have to reinstall windows maybe the boot disk partition be cleared. you can disable emmc in bios then install a pure windows in ssd. enable emmc after the windows installed. When it’s plugged into the server it should show up in MyComputer with the next available drive letter assigned to it.


If you don’t see if there open up Computer Management and under disk management see if it’s there but without a drive letter assigned to it. I had the same problem a couple of months back. Now if this is happening only with Chrome and not with other browsers, then the problem cannot be a virus. But it can be a virus if other browsers and programs are facing equal problems.  
  
So, with chrome as we all know there is a memory problem. So to solve that follow these simple steps.  
  
1. On the top right menu icon, select History  
2. From there select "clear browsing data"  
3. It will prompt for the time span, there you select "beginning of time"  
4. You might lose few data like saved passwords, favorites, but no data will be removed which are saved properly.  
  
After you are done with this, clean your system with Disk Cleaning Software. While doing this don't keep any browser window open especially Chrome.  
If you notice, it is skipping out the Chrome from the list, you have to select the program manually and click on "clear".  
  
After this restart your system and see if it works. If it doesn't then you have to undergo the entire process of uninstalling and re-installing Chrome. Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is. HereMaps, is a downloadable application with fully offline maps for I* and *Android  

The Windows10 Mapps app is HereMaps  

All GPS companies make such apps, that's what a gps IS  

Be aware that offlline maps of any substantial area are LARGE, the world in HereMaps offline maps occupies 145GB at a *not-very-high* detail level  

. . many devices do not have much storage (i have TBs of storage so it seemed ok to DL the whole world mapset)  

Be aware that offline maps are not searchable in any way similar to google maps, content is strictly limited.  

Google maps rely on Google's index for elevated content, & require online access to function this question is a bit harder to answer than it appears on the surface, because there really is a lot to programming, so a specific field of interest to narrow the search could help narrow the list.

zorin os ultimate comes with a lot of useful programming applications that i would not have otherwis…
