Hi @scorpdog11, Welcome back to the Samsung Community! It is completely understandable to feel thrown off when your home screen layout shifts or applications seem to disappear after a system upgrade. We want to ensure your S24 looks exactly how you prefer, so let's get this sorted out quickly.
Please try these quick troubleshooting steps to locate your applications: Use Finder Search: Swipe up on your home screen and type the missing app names into the top search bar.
Unhide Applications: Go to Settings > Home screen > Hide apps on Home and Apps screens to verify they weren't hidden during the update. Check App Folders: Look inside existing folders (like "Samsung" or "Tools"), as upgrades can automatically group apps together. Verify App Status: Navigate to Settings > Apps to ensure the missing applications are not marked as "Disabled."
