When it comes to viewing all installed apps on your Windows 10 PC, there are two options. You can use the Start menu or navigate to Settings > System > Apps & features section to view all installed apps as well as classic desktop programs.

view all installed programs and apps Windows 10

The above mentioned methods are not definitely useful when you want to view and launch all installed apps from one place. Although the Start menu displays all installed apps and programs, you need to scroll up/down to view all apps/programs. While you can see all apps in Settings > System > Apps & features, you can’t launch apps from there and navigating to Apps & features section does take a couple of clicks.

The best way to view all installed apps in Windows 10

Wouldn’t it be great if it was possible to add all installed programs and apps to a single folder and launch apps/programs from there? Luckily, in Windows 10, there is an option to view all installed apps from one place and you can launch apps from there.

Step 1: Open Run command box. To do this, simultaneously press Windows logo and R keys on the keyboard.

Step 2: Type the following command in the box and then press Enter key to open Applications folder which displays all installed apps as well as classic desktop programs.

Shell:AppsFolder

From here, you can open apps/programs, pin or unpin them to Start/taskbar, or even initiate Uninstall process.

Tip: You don’t need to enter the above command each time to view all installed apps. The Run command will save this command and displays the last used command when you open it. You just need to open Run command box and press Enter key.

    Thank you for this solution! It allows me to see ALL apps, including older versions that I still prefer (Paint versus Paint 3D, for example.)

    FYI, you can automate this using a simple batch file:

    Open a plain text editor like Notepad. Type in the following:

    @echo off
    start Shell:AppsFolder

    Save this with an appropriate name, such as “All Apps.bat”. The name can be anything you want, just be sure to end it with the “.bat” extension. Place it on your desktop or in the start menu.

    Now, you can view all programs by double-clicking on the batch file icon.

    when I open Applications millions appear, most of which I do not know anything about. It is the same in Task Manager. Two questions: One, how to know which apps I do not need? Two, how to identify Antivirus apps? Or rather, how to identify which apps are causing Restore to notwork properly?

    When I do this, I am getting below message. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks for your time.
