| Windows 10 - Apps | What are Windows, UWP, and Win32 apps | w10 | deploy | library | mobile | elizapo | lizap | low | 09/15/2017 |
Understand the different apps included in 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, built for 32-bit systems.
Digging into the Windows apps, there are two categories:
- System apps - Apps that are installed in the c:\Windows* directory. These apps are integral to the OS.
- Apps - All other apps, installed in c:\Program Files\WindowsApps. There are two classes of apps:
- Provisioned: Installed the first time you sign into Windows. You'll see a tile or Start menu item for these apps, but they aren't installed until the first sign-in.
- Installed: Installed as part of 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 1511, 1607, and 1703, 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.
Tip
Want to see a list of the apps installed on your specific image? You can run the following PowerShell cmdlet:
