I deleted some Microsoft software and programs.

I deleted some Microsoft Software/Programs from my new PC thinking I wouldn't need them. My question is this: does Microsoft have a download that would scan my PC and identify what missing software/programs that came with the PC are
missing and then automatically reinstall these missing items.

The programs are all related to Xbox. In particular Microsoft Solitaire Games. After I deleted the XBox programs Solitaire doesn't work. I did go the Microsoft Store and downloaded MS Solitaire but it doesn't run. Again thanks
for any feed back.

Dear
FredDoublet1,

You can use the system restore to return the system to a state before deleting the file.

Step 1. Select the "Start" button and click "Settings (the gear icon)".

Step 2. Search for "Recovery" in Windows Settings.

Step 3. Select "Recovery" > "Open System Restore" > "Next".

Step 4. Choose a restore point that is earlier than you uninstall the program and click "Next".

Happy Gaming

You can try this
LINK to see if it helps. It really depends on if the programs are essential to the performance of Windows but it is worth a try.

It depends on where do you have installed the software.
But as a general answer, yes. It does

You may need to reinstall some programs and most of the Microsoft store apps

It's not on Microsoft side as I can update with no issues but sometimes a insider update could cause this issues on a console as this is not a ready to release update, that's why when you join the Insider program you agree to the fact that it's a software test and could cause some issues to the console that a ready to release software wont

Anything is possible with Microsoft as they are the master when it comes to software so programming shouldn't be a problem.
