I refreshed my laptop....Toshiba....now my apps on left hand side are gone....an empty space is there!
Above space is a box that contains a list of these apps. I opened the box and want to knoe......how do I reinstall these apps?

What do you mean when you say you "refreshed" it. Do you mean you performed a factory recovery?

Just google for the programs in that list and install them one by one. No other way sorry.

Thank you, both for your answer. I am new to this Forum. I hit a button that said refresh. I recall a suggestion to do this about once a week as a maintenance task.

If I need to reinstall, shall I click on each app separately and install? Patricia

It would have given OP a warning before refreshing it....
