1Cloning a drive should have been straight-forward if you had physically replaced the disk. As it is, I suggest to Do a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade.– harrymcCommented Sep 29, 2020 at 16:50

@harrymc Windows 10 by itself is fine, the cloned drive was a completely different partition than the system disk. It's just the UWP apps on it that are "missing".– memory noiseCommented Sep 29, 2020 at 16:59

1Repair install will restore the registry. I hope you haven't left the old disk in its place.– harrymcCommented Sep 29, 2020 at 17:01

Wouldn't a system restore just keep the current paths? As far as Windows is concerned the apps are just "offline" and stored on the old drive, it has no reason to look after them on a completely different disk.– memory noiseCommented Sep 29, 2020 at 17:06

1If the old disk is disconnected, and the new one is connected in its place, this should set Windows to a consistent state.– harrymcCommented Sep 29, 2020 at 17:11

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
