Update Removed Windows 7 Games
Dell 64 bit Windows 10 laptop. Purchased with 10 installed. Since the model number doesn't mean enough to Dell to put it anywhere on the laptop, I assume it's no longer important.
Since the old familiar Windows 7 games are not available on W10, we got them off a Windows 7 PC, and made the myriad changes we found online to enable them to work on this laptop.
Last week after Windows performed an update, and I signed in with my password, things were really screwed up. Messages said something about a corrupt app, and that a temporary ID had been created for me. Half the desktop icons were gone. The taskbar, which had IE11 pinned to it, had now reverted back to MS Edge, and the Games icon had disappeared from it.
I immediately restored the machine to what it was before the update, and after it completed, everything seemed back to normal, except for the games, which have disappeared completely, and there is now a blank space on the taskbar for the Windows Store.
Enclosed are some screenshots, most of them regarding todays items in Event Viewer..
