Win8 system compared to the previous Windows system, the biggest change is its Metro interface, although the novel interface has attracted many users, but after all, more users are used to the traditional desktop, the total use It's a bit uncomfortable, and there are still many users who can't find the application downloaded from the Windows Store. This has something to do with the new Win8 system. If your application disappears after installation, you can try the following methods.
First, fix the app to “Start”Screen
If you usually launch the app by clicking from the "Start" screen or clicking on the app, but not found in the "Start” screen App, please check to make sure the app is accidentally unpinned from the “start” screen.
To search for an app and pin it to the "Start" screen, follow these steps:
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and click "Search”. (If using the mouse, point to the top right corner of the screen, then move the pointer down, then click “search”.)
2. Tap or click “apply” and enter the app you want to find name.
3. If you see the app listed in the results, swipe down or right click on the app to select it, then select “pin to ‘start & rsquo;screen”.
Second, install the application you own
If the application does not appear in the search results, it may indicate that it is installed on other computers, not on this computer. To check the list of apps you own and follow one of these apps, follow these steps:
1. On the "Start” screen, tap or click “app store” to open the Windows app store.
2. Swipe down from the top edge of the screen and click “your app”. (If using a mouse, point to the top of the screen, right click, and then click “your app”.) If you are not logged in to the Windows Store, sign in with your Microsoft account.
3. Swipe down or right click to select the app to install, then click or click “Install”.
Three, install the app from the app store
If the app does not appear in the "your app" list, then you do not have a license for the app, you must install it from the app store.
Note: If your app was purchased from the app store, check your billing history to make sure the payment has been processed. Apps that were installed before the payment was completed may only be available for a short period of time and then stop working. For more information on how to view your billing history, see How to view your billing history for your Windows Store account.
Fourth, the application is no longer available
In some cases, the application may be removed from the Windows Store due to violation of the Terms of Use. When this happens, you will receive an email notifying you that the app is no longer available in the app store. The app will still appear on the computer it is installed on, but it will no longer work to protect your security.
The above four methods can cope with the disappearance of Win8 application installation. Usually, you can use these four methods to find the application you want to install. If you have the application disappeared, try it out.
