@CND004041L, Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you are facing an issue with MS Word and Excel apps are missing or not showing on your HP Notebook, which runs Windows 10 in S Mode. S Mode is a more locked-down version of Windows 10 that only allows apps from the Microsoft Store to be installed. This can cause some issues with non-Store apps like Office apps if they were removed or not installed via the Store.
Refer to this document: HP PCs - Frequently Asked Questions about Windows in S Mode (Windows 11, Windows 10)
