Windows 10: System Apps - List of Purpose

I'm trying to cut down on extraneous programs that are available to our students in our school.

Does anyone have a collective list of the System Apps in Windows 10 that explains the purpose for each file?

I'm using Win10 Pro 2004

List of System Apps & Definition

I want to create a listing of all the apps in my system along with a short, brief definition. I know how to get to the list of the apps, I guess, which is just to click on the Windows logo, then click on the icon for "ALL APPS". However, as soon as I then
go to Excel to list what I can see, and remember, which in these days is not much, then I once again am having to click the Windows logo and click on the ALL APPS listing again, and mentally grab as much as possible. If there is not a way of creating a listing
I can copy showing all the apps, this is going to be a very long and tedious process. But then, after finally getting a listing of every app in my system, I will have to go to each and try to define what it is or what it does.

Any suggestions for an easy and quicker way of getting what I want. Remember, I am not talking about all apps in creation, but only those on my system.

Thanks for your help.

 

Apps not showing in app list

Hello Shirley,

Could you answer the below questions:

• 
  Are you using a Local account or a Microsoft Account?
  
• 
  Is Cortana able to search the apps installed?
  

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if that helps.

• Type Start Settings in Search and hit
  Enter.
• Turn on Show recently added apps in jump list of Start of Taskbar.

Please also run SFC scan and check if the issue persists. System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

• 
  Press Windows key + X key.
  

• 
  Select command prompt (admin).
  
• 
  Type the below command:
  

sfc /scannow

Please get back to us with the necessary detail so that we can resolve your issue at the earliest.

 

Programs Missing From Control Panel List

I was able to get rid of XNVIEW by downloading it and using it's own uninstaller.
Have tried method suggested by Pyramid 10 with photoscape without success.
Can't figure out how to do what is asked.

Your next suggestion?
