Jan 17, 2020 An unsupported version of Windows will no longer receive software updates from Windows Update. These updates include security updates that can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software which can steal your personal information. For years Windows users were pretty envious of the dock in MacOS. There was a large proliferation of third-party dock apps for earlier versions of Windows, such as RocketDock. You won’t find any such Windows applications released recently however. That’s because the taskbar in Windows 10 does much of what made the dock so popular to begin with.
-->Applies to: 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:
- Apps - All other apps, installed in C:Program FilesWindowsApps. 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.
- System apps - Apps that are installed in the C:Windows* directory. These apps are integral to 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 1709, 1803, and 1809 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.
