Viewing the "Modern" aka "Metro" apps on a Microsoft Windows system

If you want to see a list of only the "Modern", aka "Metro" apps installed on a Microsoft Windows system, get a Windows PowerShell prompt, which you can do on Windows 10 by clicking on the Start button, or hitting Ctrl-Esc, then typing PowerShell then right-click on Windows PowerShell and choose "Run as administrator". Then type Get-AppxPackage and hit Enter.

If you don't want to see all of the details for the installed packages, just the name, use Get-AppxPackage | findstr "^Name" - put the ^ before "Name" so that you get lines beginning with "Name" and not those beginning with "PackageFullName" and "PackageFamilyName".
