# Understand the different apps included in Windows 10
>Applies to: Windows 10
The following types of apps run on Windows 10:
- Windows apps - introduced in Windows 8, primarily installed from the Store app.
- Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps - designed to work across platforms, can be installed on multiple platforms including Windows client, Windows Phone, and Xbox. All UWP apps are also Windows apps, but not all Windows apps are UWP apps.
- "Win32" apps - traditional Windows applications.
Digging into the Windows apps, there are two categories:
- Apps - All other apps, installed in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps. There are two classes of apps:
- Provisioned: Installed in user account the first time you sign in with a new user account.
- Installed: Installed as part of the OS.
- System apps - Apps that are installed in the C:\Windows\* directory. These apps are integral to the OS.
The following tables list the system apps, installed Windows apps, and provisioned Windows apps in a standard Windows 10 Enterprise installation. (If you have a custom image, your specific apps might differ.) The tables list the app, the full name, show the app's status in Windows 10 version 1709, 1803, and 1809 and indicate whether an app can be uninstalled through the UI.
Some of the apps show up in multiple tables - that's because their status changed between versions. Make sure to check the version column for the version you are currently running.
## Provisioned Windows apps
You can list all provisioned Windows apps with this PowerShell command:
```Powershell
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Format-Table DisplayName, PackageName
```
Here are the provisioned Windows apps in Windows 10 versions 1803, 1809, 1903, 1909, and 2004.

>The Store app can't be removed. If you want to remove and reinstall the Store app, you can only bring Store back by either restoring your system from a backup or resetting your system. Instead of removing the Store app, you should use group policies to hide or disable it.

Aside from consolidating device management and endpoint security into a single platform, it can better support the diverse bring-your-own-device (BYOD) ecosystem that is increasingly the norm with hybrid work scenarios. It can also enable you to track your progress against compliance and business objectives, while protecting end user privacy.

- **Provision and pre-configure new Windows Sun Valley devices**: [Windows Autopilot](/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot) enables you to deploy new Windows Sun Valley devices in a “business-ready” state that includes your desired applications, settings, and policies. It can also be used to change the edition of Windows. For example, you can upgrade from Pro to Enterprise edition and gain the use of advanced features. - **Provision and pre-configure new Windows Sun Valley devices**: [Windows Autopilot](/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot) enables you to deploy new Windows Sun Valley devices in a “business-ready” state that includes your desired applications, settings, and policies.
