Missing programs and features on classroom machines

We have noticed numerous issues on the classroom workstations regarding Start menu and some applications. Common issues currently occurring are:

  • Cannot see any programs on Start menu or Desktop
  • Cannot use search features
  • Cannot open Windows 10 native applications such as calculator

We are currently investigating these issues. In the meantime, one can use the Programs -shortcut on the desktop to access software:

 

If even the Programs -shortcut is missing from the Desktop, software can be found in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) -folders manually.

On new installations, waiting for a period of time (15 minutes) and signing out/in can help also.
