    Are you talking about the office dashboard thingy?  It's a windows app - reinstall it from the windows store or repair it if you want it. (personally, I wouldn't waste my time - its useless IMHO - but is a small app so its not a space hog.)

    The office dashboard is the black and orange icon - the icon group is the office apps (don't ask me why some icons are tiny). With Home & student, you'll only have word, excel, and powerpoint - plus at least OneNote app , if not OneNote 2019.

    But what maybe weird is that the Office version I had to reinstall shows in APP list

    BUT it does NOT show up anywhere on Start menu. The Excel Word etc show up and work perfectly BUT the Office that is listed there is the one that doesn NOT work.

    You are in the wrong search box - you want the one on the left. (I realized after I posted that I forgot to highlight the search field. Sorry.)
