Apps installed but no icons/not in Settings->Apps

[Android Central Question]

Hi All. This problem has followed me around for years across multiple phones, currently a Galaxy S22. When I go to certain apps in the Play Store, I see them as "Installed" and can open them from there. But they don't have an icon, and are not under Settings-Apps. Does anyone have a fix for this? Clearing caches and uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't help. Thanks!

Which apps?
They not in the app list?

Try setting>apps>3 dot's upper right corner tap>reset app preferences

Welcome to Android Central! Are they games? If so, have you checked your Game Launcher?
