How to find out if a user installed a Store app?

Question

_{Thursday, July 2, 2020 7:42 PM}

My understanding of Store apps are that they are installed on a user-by-user basis.  

If Bob logs into a computer and installs the HEVC Video Extension, and then logs off, and Mary logs on and searches for that app, she will not find it installed.  Mary will have to install the app as well.  

If both Bob and Mary install the app, will the Admin be able to see they both have that app?  How can an Admin detect apps that were installed across multiple computers?

Gets a list of the app packages that are installed in a user profile.

Syntax

   [-AllUsers]
   [-PackageTypeFilter <PackageTypes>]
   [[-Name] <String>]

   [-User <String>]

Hi,

Get-AppxPackage will provide you a list of the app packages that are installed in a user profile. To get the list of packages for a user profile other than the profile for the current user, you must run this command by using administrator permissions.

This cmdlet returns an AppxPackage object that contains information, including the full name of the app package.

Example 1: Get all app packages for every user account

PS C:\ Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers

Example 2: Get an app package for a specific a user

PS C:\ Get-AppxPackage -Name "Package17" -User "Contoso\EvanNarvaez"
