Getting the list of installed windows store apps

Question

There are ways to get the list of installed applications that come in Add/Remove Programs in ControlPanel.
But I want to get the list of installed applications from windows store too. I have not got anything so far.
Is there any way to get the list of applications installed from windows store?

Answer 1

You can run these commands on a powershell window and get the list of installed apps on a Windows 10 machine

Get-AppxPackage | ft Name, PackageFullName -AutoSize

If you want to get a list of all the apps of all the users, then use the below command.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | ft Name, PackageFullName -AutoSize

Answer 2

Package Manager will help to get the list of metro applications.

With reference to this thread:

1) You can use this code snippet :
IEnumerable<Windows.ApplicationModel.Package> packages = (IEnumerable<Windows.ApplicationModel.Package>)packageManager.FindPackagesForUser("");
FindPackages Method with example

2) To use this class, change the target platform version to 8.0 in .csproj
To open .csproj, right click on the project name in the solution explorer and select unload the project. Then it will become like projectname(unavailable). Now right click and select edit .csproj file. And you can load the project again.

3) Add a reference to system.runtime
If you dont find it, you can add a reference to its dll from C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly folder.

4) Add a reference to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd
