Q&A: How can I re-install a Windows 8 app that I deleted by accident?

Posted on March 15, 2015

windows-store-logoQuestion from Freida G.:  I need your help Rick. I read your article explaining how to uninstall unwanted apps in Windows 8 and I decided to delete a few of them to tidy up my Start Screen.

While removing the apps that I figured I’d never use,  I accidentally deleted the Weather app – which I love! How can I get it back?

I love your site by the way. Your tips have helped me so much!!! Thank you!!!

Ricks’s answer:  You’re very welcome Freida. I’m glad you find my tips useful.

To answer your question, you can easily re-install any pre-installed Windows 8 app that has been removed right from the Windows Store. Here’s how to re-install your Weather app:

1 – On the Start Screen, click on the Store tile.

2 – Type Weather into the search box.

3 – Select weather from the list of search results. Several “weather” apps will be displayed on the screen.

4 – Select the app that’s simply labeled Weather. That’s the one that came pre-installed along with Windows 8.

5 – Click the Install button.

That’s all there is to it Freida! Good luck!
