recently i clicked something and it downloaded a weird file, ever since then all my apps are gone and are not showing up anywhere. They are hidden and still installed, because i see them all in the uninstall a program page in control panel. as well as afew shortcuts allow me to use apps like chrome. but other than that all my apps are hidden.
then
Win7
in the file click organize, go to view and find hidden files and folders, click view hidden
Win10
file explore
hit view, click hidden file tab
If it were me, I would be more concerned about this: You clicked something? Do you know the weird file name? Have you run your anti-virus and anti-malware scans to eliminate the weird file?
In Windows 8, to show hidden files:
open Folder Options then select View. In Advanced settings click Show hidden files, folders and drives.
