Nope, the program just > disappeared. With mention of anti-virus comes to mind possible other-actor malicious action whether deliberate or accidental. Have you enabled RDP to allow remote access to your computer? Is Remote Assistance disabled? See: https://winaero.com/disable-remote-assistance-windows-10/ I disabled that long ago. Don't need it, won't allow it, and disabled it should there be any vulnerabilities. Running any other remoting software (e.g., VNC, TeamViewer)? I have used both in the past, but never left them running (as a server to accept new outside connects). What you described I've not seen happen: suddenly installed programs disappearing. So, I'd make sure no one can remote into your computer to perform accidental or malicious actions. There is one condition where I've seen programs disappear: a corrupted Windows profile. There are online articles on how to mend, but I usually don't bother, create a new Windows profile, and start again. In fact, you can backup your Windows profile: run sysdm.cpl, Advanced tab, User Profiles, Copy To. However, I resort to using an image backup to restore the drives back to the exact state as before. The backups are scheduled. Relying on the user to perform a backup means unreliable backups. Do you have image backups to which you could restore your computer to when you saw the now missing programs? You could try using System Restore, but that does not revert the drive(s) back to their exact state as before. Restoring from image backups does. If you don't do backups then nothing on your computer is important. If you already did a restore from backup, could be the backup from which you restored was created before you installed the software or drivers.
