| Windows 10 - Apps | What are Windows, UWP, and Win32 apps | w10 | deploy | library | mobile | elizapo | lizap | medium | 08/23/2018 |
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.
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 in user account the first time you sign in with a new user account.
- 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 1607, 1703, and 1709, 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:
Get-AppxPackage | select Name,PackageFamilyName Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | select DisplayName,PackageName

Note
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.
