How to find hidden apps installed in Windows 10?

Hi,

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features and Windows Settings\Apps\Apps & features are common locations for looking installed apps in Windows 10.

In some scenarios we see apps are in Windows 10 but we’re unable to find where applications are installed.

And the application is not showing in both locations; Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features and Windows Settings\Apps\Apps & features

Mostly I noticed such scenarios for apps used for remote access.

Irrespective of type of applications, please let us know the location in Windows 10 where no application can be hidden by any way.

With Regards
NndnG

    Press the Windows key + R to open the run command window. Then type shell:AppsFolder into the text entry box and click OK.
