Having failed to access a website I was invited to 'refresh' the computer. This took about 5 minutes and when it had finished I discovered that several applications had been removed and the e-mail icon had disappeared. Is there a way to get this back please?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
When you clicked on "Refresh" you would have got a message as below:
Refresh your PC
Here’s what will happen
. Your files and personalization settings won’t change.
. Your PC settings will be changed back to their defaults
. Apps from Windows Store will be kept
. Apps you installed from discs or websites will be removed.
. A list of removed apps will be saved on your desktop.
What do you mean by the "Email icon"?
Dear Jeanette:
I really am not concerned with changes in the software settings; only with the E-mail that is received
at my E-mail address, namely: ******@outlook.com
Therefore, I do not need to know how to retrieve the REFRESH icon or key.
Thanks Anyway;

Where is the little envelope on the bottom of the screen that opens up all of my e mail accounts?
Exactly, that little letter isnt there any more.
