On all Windows devices, the OS automatically installs some apps. These apps are called system apps, and are typically installed in the C:\Windows\ folder. On your Windows devices, you can use Windows PowerShell to see the system apps automatically installed.
This article lists the built-in system apps on some Windows OS versions, and lists the Windows PowerShell command to get a list.
Use Windows PowerShell
To get a list of all the system apps, use Windows PowerShell:
Open the Windows PowerShell app as administrator.
Run the following script:
Get-AppxPackage -PackageTypeFilter Main | ? { $_.SignatureKind -eq "System" } | Sort Name | Format-Table Name, InstallLocation
The output lists all the system apps, and their installation location. For more information on this command, see Get-AppxPackage (opens another Microsoft website).
