If you've uninstalled built-in apps or had default settings reset after an update, you can easily restore everything back to Microsoft's defaults using Settings or PowerShell. Here's how:
Step 1: Get into Settings.
Step 2: Open Apps in the items.
Step 3: Choose Default apps on the sidebar. Here you can change the default apps. Go down and click Reset under Reset all default apps.
Settings will revert to the original default apps, including your default browser, music player, and photo viewer.
If apps are missing (e.g., after uninstallation or errors), use PowerShell:
Step 1: Open PowerShell as an administrator.
Step 2: Run the command:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Step 3: Restart your PC afterward. This reinstalls all missing built-in apps.
