Hi John,

there is a PowerShell command that lists packages installed on your machine:

Get-AppxPackage | select name, packagefamilyname 

Here's the output for Insider Hub on my machine:

Microsoft.Windows.FeatureOnDemand.InsiderHub Microsoft.Windows.FeatureOnDemand.InsiderHub_cw5n1h4txyewy 

I hope this helps!

Best,
Sebastian

Hi Bilaal John S,

Why did you want to get the name of them?

The command line "get-appxpackage" is used to get metro apps packages. OneDrive is not a metro app so it is not listed.

The Onedrivesetup app is located in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64".

If the main issue is to remove it. We could try to run "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall". Double click it to install OneDrive.

Best regards

Hi Sebastian,

Got it :) InsiderHub details after running the below commands in power shell.

Get-AppxPackage | select name, packagefamilyname  

One drive package package name is not in the list, It would be great if anyone knows more about this.

Thanks for the reply Sebastian.

Thanks,

Bilaal John S

onedrive is a modern app installed from the store. I can see it in the store. it says it's installed. but it's not in my start menu. if I search the start menu for onedrive, i just see the desktop app. and it's not listed in get-appxpackage. obviously there's also a normal  desktop onedrive app that parks an icon in the system tray and syncs stuff in normal file explorer folders. but i'm not talking about that one. i'm talking about the modern app installed from the store. I have to uninstall it so I can reinstall it. because the fall creators update broke it, like it broke like 9 other modern apps, all of which I have been able to uninstall with get-appxpackage -name "whatever" | remove-appxpackage, and then reinstall from the store. but not onedrive.
