Apps Find All Installed Apps and Programs in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to find and view a list of all installed apps and programs in Windows 11.

Desktop apps are traditional programs installed by a user. These will not be an app from the Microsoft Store.

Windows apps are apps installed by a user from the Microsoft Store. Each Microsoft account owns their own apps.

Provisioned apps are apps included with Windows 11, and automatically installed when a new user signs in to Windows the first time. They are per-user apps, and typically installed in the "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" folder. These are also available in Microsoft Store for a user to reinstall if needed.
