Is it a desktop app? If so, is it listed in "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel?

You could try typing it from start screen. Does it show up there?

Ok. I see. Silly me :D

Hmm....Type "desktop" while on the start screen? Will it show up that way? If so, right click for option two pin?

I'm on my phone so I can't experiment.

If it does not show in 'all apps' where you can pin it to the start, open an admin command prompt and run sfc /scannow :cool:
