Windows 8 "refresh" removed applications

Q

Why did Windows 8 "Refresh" remove about 30 applcations from my PC? Outlook is gone, as is Excel and Word. I did a upgrade from 7 on one of my PC's and the new system had not even been operating long enough to create a "Restore" point.

Since, you have refreshed the PC; all the applications installed will be removed.

The apps that came with your PC or you installed from Windows Store will be reinstalled, but any apps you installed from other websites and DVDs will be removed. You'll find a list of the removed apps on your desktop after refreshing your PC.

I would recommend you to reinstall all the applications on windows 8 to work.
