    Hi Dale, thanks for your question. I'm Graeme, a Microsoft Community expert and fellow user.

    Your apps should show up in your Start menu. You can click the Start button on the bottom left of your screen to open the Start menu, then scroll up and down the apps list.

    Otherwise, you can find the installed apps and their files in the C:\Program Files folder. You can access this by pressing Windows Key+E to open File Explorer, then navigating to that location.

    But the easiest way is definitely through the Start menu. Let me know if you're having trouble using the Start menu and I'll provide further assistance! Thanks!

    Hi, Dale,

    Click Start

    You'll see a list of Apps in the Mid Left of Start Page.

    App in question is not in any of those locations, it was a Sudoku game.

    i used my PC to open google play as the source, it asked me to sign in to my google account from which I selected install.

    The game installed on my phone. Wonder if procedure used directed it to my phone and not my PC

    What needs to be done to get it on my pc????

    Hi Dale

    Are you trying to run the apps you downloaded or uninstall the apps you downloaded?

    Where did you download those apps form, was that from the Microsoft Store or from a 3rd party website?
