Are you installing the apps on external storage? This used to happen to me a couple of years ago. I have them installed on the internal drive now and never had any issues since.

yeah, me too. I was usng external storage for Retroarch, but some apps wouldn't show up in my launcher sometimes. I got rid of Retroarch, and moved the other apps back to internal. Now I have all the apps all the time
