Amobi have you ever tried to right click in the windows store?? I would recommend trying it out. It shows you all the apps you have installed and even some that are not even in the store! Except evernote and kindle and tuneinradio all of my apps are there!
You can kill explorer in Windows 7:
Click on start button, press Ctrl + Shift keys & right click on blank area of start menu, a popup menu with option to exit explorer. Click on this option to kill explorer. To start explorer again, press Ctrl + Shift + esc keys, task manager will open, click on files, click on New Task(Run…), type in Explorer.exe and press enter key to restart explorer. I do this because this will reset Windows Explorer to default settings and restart without going down and back up again.
