I made a seperate collection for tools (and now soundtracks) and a dynamic library for local/installed games. so anything left in uncategorized is the other games currently not installed

Do you have "show only install or recent activated" they are just above own list of games in home
all my games is show then deactivated. ( no blue circle around them )

and hidden games is in steam bar menu under view.

i have put skyrim script extender there, because its not a game.

other issue.
try download and steam library folder and then right click to repaire steam lib folder.
if multi disk or external drev need to be online or steam see it as drev is gone and remove content, same thing can happend if a harddisk is burnout and lost in windows OS.
and stem cant see the diffrence between burnout and external drev is not there.

i think you are right its a store issue. with own preference. and not a home lib issue.

Yeah I was sure I saw something like that on the Store search when I had ignored tags that excluded a large number of games from a search result.

it shows all games regardless of installation
i have no games hidden
im unsure on where to find/how to repair the folder
i only have the one disk space drive thingy
i dont have any tags ignored but even if i did that would only exclude what comes up in the store/ques not my library
