    Hi guys ?

    So i have a little problem here:

    my father had a bug today, and windows 10 suggested him to use the recovery > restore pc > keep my personal files.

    The problem is that windows kept all personal data, but removed all programs, like JAVA, chrome, firefox, office, and all the essential programs .

    Is there a way to rever/undo this restore, so the programs come back ?

    Thanks

    You can try checking Hidden Files and Folder. Open File Explorer > View > Options > Scroll down to Hidden files and folder > Select Show hidden files and folders.
    If you Windows.old folder, then you might have a chance to restore your data.
