Initial setup issue
You have several options to restore those programs after a fresh Windows installation. You can try adding them manually during setup, use a recovery environment, or reinstall them with persistence settings enabled. Let me know which method you'd prefer!
Certainly users may rely on the old installation directory. They'll retain standard configurations unless AppData folders are backed up. You can manually add the .exe to the start menu so it stays prioritized. (<- note for Windows 7, similar concept) If you prefer a quick fix, simply reinstall and apply settings afterward.
