Find Version of Installed Apps in Settings


This option will include both desktop and Microsoft Store apps.

System apps currently listed in Settings > Apps > Installed Apps page, have moved to their own page under Settings > System > System components.

Option Four

Find Version of Installed Apps using Command


This option will not include Microsoft Store apps.


1 Open Windows Terminal, and select Windows PowerShell.

2 Copy and paste the command you want below into Windows Terminal, and press Enter. (see screenshots below)

(Apps installed for current user only)
Get-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Uninstall\* | select-object DisplayName, DisplayVersion

OR

(32-bit Apps installed for all users)
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Uninstall\* | select-object DisplayName, DisplayVersion

OR

(64-bit Apps installed for all users)
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Uninstall\* | select-object DisplayName, DisplayVersion

Option Five

Find Version of Installed Apps in Microsoft Store CLI


This option will only include Microsoft Store apps.

A new command-line interface for the Microsoft Store brings app discovery, installation and update management directly to your terminal. This enables developers and users with a new way to discover and install Store apps, without needing the GUI. The Store CLI is available only on devices where Microsoft Store is enabled.


1 Open Windows Terminal, and select either Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.

2 Copy and paste the command below into Windows Terminal, and press Enter. (see screenshot below)

3 You will now see the Version of each app Name you have installed from the Microsoft Store.

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").
