List Windows apps in a specific format in PowerShell

Writer Matthew Martinez

To get a list of all installed apps open an elevated PowerShell window and type:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Select Name

This will produce a list of installed apps. Example:

Microsoft.WindowsCalculator
NAVER.LINEwin8
4DF9E0F8.Netflix

I need to get a list that does not display the prefix. Example:

WindowsCalculator
LINEwin8
Netflix

How can I get a list of installed apps without the prefix that precedes the punctuation?

Taking your approach literal this will get you the last . separated element from the name, but there will be a lot of entries 0,1,2,3,4,6,00,xaml from apps with appended version information and xaml type:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Select -Expand Name|%{"{0,-40} {1}" -f $_.split(".")[-1],$_}

Sample output:

BrokerPlugin Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin
BioEnrollment Microsoft.BioEnrollment
LockApp Microsoft.LockApp
MicrosoftEdge Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge
PPIProjection Microsoft.PPIProjection
ChxApp Microsoft.Windows.Apprep.ChxApp
AssignedAccessLockApp Microsoft.Windows.AssignedAccessLockApp
CloudExperienceHost Microsoft.Windows.CloudExperienceHost
ContentDeliveryManager Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager
Cortana Microsoft.Windows.Cortana
ParentalControls Microsoft.Windows.ParentalControls
SecondaryTileExperience Microsoft.Windows.SecondaryTileExperience
SecureAssessmentBrowser Microsoft.Windows.SecureAssessmentBrowser
XboxGameCallableUI Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI
ContactSupport Windows.ContactSupport
