All my installed apps have disappeared since yesterday, including play store !!

[AC Question]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305.
Even the default applications have disappeared, so I cannot even access Play Store to re-install everything!
My phone is set on Automatic updates while on Wifi.
I saw some solutions on your website regarding Knox application - I Forced Stop for this applix but there is no change.

Thanks for your urgent advice.

It could be a launcher problem, try "clear data" of TouchWiz or change Launcher

Or just turn the phone off for a few seconds, then turn it on.
