I can find the app from Program files in C drive but i


cant find it in the search in start menu. This problem is
not confined to just this application, it is the same with
VLC media player, Cleanup and some other softwares
that i have installed in my laptop.

I had the exact same issue. Follow these steps to locate


your missing program.
 
From the Metro (Start Menu)>Type "computer">click
on the "computer" icon>in the upper right hand
corner of the window you will see a search bar, type
"bitt">you will then see the installed Bittorrent
program, left click once on the icon that is NOT a
shortcut or folder icon>right click the now highlighted
icon and choose "pin to start">you will now be able to
access bittorrent from the metro (start icon)>
 
I hope that was helpful to you.

I had this same problem. Try looking in the following


directory if you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8.
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent. You
may need to go into your "Folder Options" under
control panel and allow the viewing of hidden files.

Typical obfuscation replay from a corporate jerk.  Duh,


it must be your fault, turn it off, turn it on.  How can
such clueless people hold a job.  Windows now hides
installed program (they call apps) in a hidden folder. 
Why?  To make life more difficult for us I suppose. 
One of responders below finally answers the
question..., which you'd think an employee might have
been able to do, but f-ing NO, they are too stoopid. 
Geez, Microsoft how can you not see what jerks your
policies make you, aren't you regular people outside of
your job.

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent
This is the folder you find it in. After you find it open
this folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs" or place it on your Desktop or
wherever and place all unindexed files shortcuts there
(Files you cant find in SearchBar). This will index them
in a short time and then you can find them... :) have a
nice day
