I have never noticed the 'A' before! When I click on that I do get the alphabetical option you mention (I'm learning something new every day!)

Under the letter G -- there is NO 'Get Office' though. Just 4 items;

Get Dropbox
Get Help
Google Chrome
Groove Music

Thank you so much for alerting me to that function.

That's me out of ideas so.

BTW you can bring up that alphabet by clicking on any of the letters in the list not just the A.
Very handy way to find apps (as long as you know the correct name).

Since you drew my attention to that section, I've been playing with it --- and discovered that I can move the list downwards. That wasn't immediately obvious as the foot of it is 'hidden' by the largish 'Type here to Search' square. As a result I only had A, and the start of B -- on view.

Have you ever thought of charging for 'Computer Lessons for Dummies'!

As the "Get Office App is not appearing we need to start looking for other culprits ...

In the Notifications make sure that the "Windows Experience" notification and the tips and tricks notifications are set to off (as in image 1). Also check that notifications from Windows store are also set to off. (scroll down from the first two)

secondly check that notications haven't been building up in the "action center" by clearing it out - in the far right of your task bar (if its on the bottom) you should see an icon as in image 2 - left click on this to open it and any notifications in there that you don't want to keep ou should bin by clicking on "X" in top left corner of each of them.

Deirdre -- I am so glad that I am not the only one who has been benefitting from all this information.

I don't even know how the screen shots are being done - but really do appreciate it so much.

Falkyrn --- I will look at your suggestion later -- the screen shot helps enormously. Thank you yet again.

Pennines - i can do the screenshots, very useful for all sorts of things (inc family history!). There are a few ways but an easy one is the ‘snipping tool’ - it’s under ‘windows accessories’ (in the W section!). Have a look 😀
