I want to see a list of all of the apps installed in Windows 10. I don't mean traditional desktop programs - just the "Metro" apps, including the system ones.

I can see everything mixed together (desktop and Metro) in the "Apps & features" section of the System Settings, but I can't tell which are the Metro apps.

I can see only the third party things by clicking my face and picking "My Library" in the Windows Store. But the default apps, like "Money" and "News", aren't there.

Get a Windows PowerShell prompt, which you can do on Windows 10 by clicking on the Start button, or hitting Ctrl-Esc, then typing PowerShell then right-click on Windows PowerShell and choose "Run as administrator". Then type Get-AppxPackage and hit Enter. If you don't want to see all of the details for the installed packages, just the name, use Get-AppxPackage | findstr "^Name" - put the ^ before "Name" so that you get lines beginning with "Name" and not those beginning with "PackageFullName" and "PackageFamilyName". You should see a list of the "Modern", aka "Metro" apps.

  • That's great. Thanks! There's some pretty interesting stuff in there. Apparently the "Groove Music" app is still called Zune internally! Jan 25, 2016 at 19:01
