How can one get a list of all Store apps installed on a computer?

It looks as if I’m going to have to rebuild a computer and I need it to get it back quickly.  I cannot find a way to list all the apps asside from going through and doing screen prints.  I can get the list in the Store>My Library>(under Apps click Show All) but then it is many screen captures to get it.  Would seem reasonable that I SHOULD be able to get a list much simpler.  Interestingly I can get a list printed from my account of those I bought.

Anyone have an idea?

    <p>In an Administrator Powershell:</p><p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);">Get-AppxPackage | Select Name</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);">That will give you the name of every Store app that is installed (including Microsoft's bloat)</span></p>

        <blockquote><a href="#86674"><em>In reply to lwetzel:</em></a></blockquote><p>Adding Out-File followed by pathname/filename to that will make a text file listing the Win32 applications installed on your computer. </p>
