After trying many things to try to fix my missing home screen, trying to move apps back to the home screen, I stumbled on the Homepage News app which was one of the apps on the screen and discovered that it was set as a default app which I do not want so I removed it as a default app ad like magic, my n9rmal home screen reappeared!!! Yay!!
I installed a new app this morning, and immediately my Home Screen setup disappeared. I held down on the new app, and it gave a choice to go back to my Android setup. I clicked on that, and my prior Home Screen re-appeared :).
