By default Windows 8 doesn’t have a Start Menu to display non-metro apps you’ve installed (though the Programs and Features in Control Panel displays programs installed by you) but WDP comes pre-installed with Metro style and other Windows app, you can view all installed apps in windows 8 easily, here is how.

Win 8 all installed apps from a to z

1. Use Win + F command to open the search pane,

2. Click Apps, installed apps and programs will be shown in alphabetical order (A-z), you can use the scroll bar at the bottom to see apps on the screen. You can pin, unpin and  uninstall them by right-clicking on the app.

Update: To view all apps in Windows 8.1

Press Win key to launch start screen, now click on down arrow which shows all apps by name, you’ve the options to view them by date installed,  most used and by category.

        Windows 10 is good, once you use it you’ll never get back to Windows 8.1. If you’re having issues downloading Windows 10 on your computer, use Media Creation tool to upgrade.

    I am not very computer literate, but I can just about fumble my way around what I want to do. Or at least I used to be able to. But then I bought windows 8. If you want a lesson on how to make something that works and is quite straight forward into something complicated, just buy windows 8. What is the point of the tile system. Its just change for the sake of change. Well, I must go , got more head scratching to do.

      Hope you’re trying Windows 10 technical Preview, if not, give it a try by joining Windows Insider program, you’ll definitely love it.

    Ok I can make this so simple now if you have 8.1 all you have to do to find all apps is go directly to you”re P.C. settings menu hit the search key to you”re left at the top it looks like a key hole ,type in all apps. and boom there you be.
