During windows 8 reset all my Apps were removed, how do I restore them?

Install them again.

What you did was this wipe it and start from the beginning.

Remove everything and reinstall Windows

If you want to recycle your PC, give it away, or just start over, you can reset it completely.

Note

  • You might be prompted to insert discs or recovery media that came with your PC. Check the info that came with your PC to see if your PC manufacturer provided these discs or media. In some cases, you might have created them when you first set up your PC.

Warning

  • All of your personal files will be deleted and your settings will be reset. Any apps the came with your PC will be reinstalled, but all other apps will be removed.

To reset your PC

  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.

(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.) 2. Under PC settings, tap or click General. 3. Under Remove everything and reinstall Windows, tap or click Get started. 4. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Note - You'll be prompted to choose whether you want to erase data quickly or thoroughly. If you choose to erase data quickly, some data might be recoverable using special software. If you choose to erase data thoroughly, this will take longer but it makes recovering data far less likely.

    Fantastic.

    You did not ask the original question (or you are using a different account than when you asked the original question *if* you are Sam2207 ...?) and L.RUDY JR. (whom you replied to in this zombified conversation) was not providing any assistance to you (or anyone) and only essentially parroting the same query asked 5 years ago today.

    If your problem (you did not do more than perhaps roughly indicate there was one) is that you keep getting notified about responses to this old query and you wish to stop - you simply need to unsubscribe to the notifications.  Click on the "three dots" under the original question and choose "unsubscribe" from the drop-down list.

    Specifically:

    Hope that helps!
