So Windows 10 - I don't really like it, but It's here and we'll have to live with it and deal with it.
I've just found a nice little snippet of PowerShell code which will give you a list of all installed packages, including which apps reside in each package (a package can contain more than one app).
Win10 - Powershell script to get all apps in UWP packages
1. Open Powershell ISE as admin.
2. Press CTRL+R to show the Script pane.
3. Paste the following code in the Script pane:
$packages = Get-AppxPackage
foreach ( $package in $packages )
{
Write-host "Package: $($package.Name)"
$manifests = Get-AppxPackageManifest -Package $package
foreach ($manifest in $manifests)
{
foreach($app in $manifest.Package.Applications.Application)
{
Write-Host " ID: $($app.Id)"
Write-Host " Executable: $($app.Executable)"
}
}
Write-Host
}
4. Press the green Play icon to execute the script.
5. You'll get a list of all apps installed, including their executable file.
6. You can save the PowerShell script (*.PS1) for use later on.
