I was uninstalling certain programs from my computer recently to clean up my computer. It was only a handful of programs like maybe between 5-8 programs. After that, I cannot many of my other programs.
When opening their shortcuts, it says "The item 'ProgramName.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been change or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete this shortcut?". The first time this happened was with firefox. So I installed it again on my pc. But it did not happen with Chrome. Later I opened another application and I was greeted with the same message. But I cannot reinstall that software because I got the software from school.
Now I'm a little scared. I started opening other programs. Some opens. Some dont. I checked my Program Files directory. It is empty except for some default windows programs folders. There are some other folders left but the program in them are gone. For example, 7zip and Android (for Android Studio) folders are there, but no program or program files other than some empty folders. I checked the Program Files(x86) folder. It looks fine with all the programs intact. The programs that do open were from Program Files (x86) and programs that dont open were from just Program Files because they just vanished.
I do not know why or how all of my other programs got uninstalled. Please help me recover all of my programs back. If this is a bug with Windows, I would like to report it. Is there a log where I could show what I have uninstalled and the list of programs I had before? Could anyone help me get all the details to report it?
