I wrote three PowerShell scripts to use, if you prefer a more traditional Windows display format:
  • ProgramsAndFeatures.ps1
    • Copy of Programs & Features, works on W7 and later.
  • AppsList.ps1
    • Copy of Apps & Features, but only with Apps listed.
  • AppsAndFeatures.ps1
    • Copy of Apps & Features.
Sharp-eyed viewers will notice the Size numbers don't exactly match Program & Features, or Settings. That's because Windows is doing some strange "rounding" of the EstimatedSize reg values.

Sorry, I can't really query App "sizes", since your AppDataLocal Packages filespace is virtualized. Trust me, that part is weird.

For the Apps listings, I've adapted code from skycommand's Get AppX package names.ps1 which translates the PackageFullName back to a friendly product name (e.g. "Mail & Calendar" instead of "windowcommunicationsapps").
