After the Fall Update the .EXE files for my Epsom scanner were missing, also Abbyy OCR. I had to reinstall both.

Missing or not in the Start Menu? Did you look in Add / Remove Programs (or whatever it’s called in W10)?

Its actually in two places in Windows 10:
Control Panel > Programs an Features
Settings > System > Apps and Features

Additionally, you can uninstall programs and apps via the Start Menu with a right click.

I believe the Control Panel will disappear in the future with everything there moved to settings.

I had to re-activate Microsoft Office Professional 2013 (I also had to do this when I first upgraded to Win 10 from Win 8.1). Fortunately, I was able to activate on line without any hassles.

In addition, When I first opened Outlook 2013, it first “re-installed” itself and then revealed that my iCloud connection had been deleted. It took ages to get this up and running again.

And for some weird reason, the upgrade deleted cCleaner(?)!!

I sincerely hope that every new Build is not going to behave in a similar manner.
