Not sure what happened, but my recently purchased ProShot has gone missing. If I access the store, it says it's installed... but I can't see it in my app list or uninstall it. Tried accessing it via Cortana and Storage Sense.. The only way I can get to it is by opening the camera app and going into the "lenses" section... and I can't uninstall it from there. Any ideas on what to do here?

Please don't offer me the cheap solution to just format... I'd rather learn to fix it.

Go the store on your PC, & reinstall it from there.
Gave that a shot, and even verified that the feature was working by sending a couple other apps. I got the progress bar+installation on other apps I installed from the web, but ProShot still will not show :(

There's a solution for this.

1. Go to "date+time" in settings, and set the year to 2106 or later.

2. Go to camera lens, and try to open ProShot.

3. It will tell you that there's a problem with the app, and an uninstall button will appear. Just press it and the app should be gone.
I didn't think the system time trick worked for wiping anything but system apps, but it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
