The average user of a system of Windows usually will install many programs on his computer, with some of them being used on a daily basis and some others only occasionally. When, for whatever reason, you want to reinstall your system, it may cause you a headache to reinstall all programs, even those that are occasionally used. So, if you've ever thought of reinstalling your Windows, then it would make things easier if you have a list of all the installed software on your system first.

There are many ways to get such a list. With or without third party software. Simply, choose the method that is most comfortable for you, from the ones listed below.

Using the Command Prompt
The first and easiest way to get a list of all the installed software on your system is by using it command prompt. To do this, press the “Win ​​+ R” keys at the same time, type “cmd” in the command prompt window, and then press the Enter key.

The command-line window opens. Here, copy and paste the following command and press the Enter key. Do not forget to change the path the file will be saved to fit your needs.

wmic /output:D:\Lista_egkatestimenou_logismikou.txt product get name, version

wmic product get name vendor version list

Once you press the Enter button, Windows will scan your system and save the list as a txt, a text file. You can find the file in question at the location you gave above (for us at the beginning of the D).

If you do a help search on the corresponding command with wmic product get /? you will see them παρουσίασης που έχετε. Τα σας μπορούν να περιέχουν για κάθε εγκατεστημένο λογισμικό μία περιγραφή, installation, installation location, etc. The only issue we have seen is that the data in the list is not arranged alphabetically.

Using PowerShell
If te PowerShell, then you can also get the list of all your installed programs from it. To do so, press the “Win ​​+ R” keys at the same time, type “powershell” in the run window, and then press the Enter key.

Now, in the Powershell window opened, type the following command and press the Enter key. Do not forget to change the path of the file, as in the previous example.

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Select-Object -Property Name > D:\Lista_egkatestimenou_logismikou.txt

powershell get itemproperty registry list

As you can see from the above command, you are still using WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) to get the list. If you have not seen all the software installed on your system, then try the following command. Again, customize the path of the file as needed.

Get-ItemProperty HKLM: \ Software \ Wow6432Node \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall \ * | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | -Table –AutoSize > D:\Lista_egkatestimenou_logismikou.txt


Using third party programs

If you don't like windows that have black με άσπρα γράμματα (!!!) και θέλετε κάτι σε καλύτερο γραφικό περιβάλλον, τότε μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε προγράμματα τρίτων κατασκευαστών. Την εργασία που θέλετε μπορεί να την κάνει μια χαρά το γνωστό βοηθητικό CCleaner or GeekUninstaller or Belarc Advisor.

And we are sure they are not the only ones out there. Surely you will find much more, we just mention three indicative ones.
