accidently uninstalled google play from my samsung laptop windows8. how to reinstall? help please!?
i was going through my laptop deleting off apps from windows8 that no one uses. they were taking up too much space. in the process i accidently deleted google play store! now all i have is samsung store.. if someone is tech savvy and knows how to help me that would be great! it would save me from having to take the laptop back to best buy and having to pay for someone to mess with it. i have looked all over the internet but the downloads i keep finding are for android phones. detailed answers are much appreciated! 
thank you!
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.
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! Wait a few minutes for the Google Play Store completes its update in the background.  

If the problem persists, Go to "Settings". Enter "Applications" and then "Manage Applications". Select "All".  

Go to "Google Services Framework" and press "Delete data" and "Clear Cache" to delete all data related Google Services Framework.  

Go to "Google Play Store" and select "Delete data and clear cache" to delete all data related to Google Play Store.

On the other hand, if you have not used your Gmail account for over 30 days, it may have been deleted. You must then create a new one, insuring that you note your password and security question and store it a safe place, remembering where the safe place is.
  

  
Best regards 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. 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. please delete the app and reinstall! it should work thanks. if anyone else comes here looking for a solution, i did manage to fix it by replaying the entire game.

i sent the bad save file to andy, so hopefully that helps with finding a preventative solution. :slightly\_smiling\_face: i just solved the problem myself. there was something wrong with my browser. after a restart everything is working as expected. sorry for the hassle.
