If you decide to reinstall your computer’s operating system, you need a list of the programs you have installed so that you do not forget any of them.
There are several ways to get the list below:
With the PowerShell tool, you can get a list of installed programs by simply clicking the magnifying glass next to the start button on the Windows 11 taskbar and typing PowerShell.
You can then click the match that appears below to open that part of Windows.
Once opened, we must write, you can type the command: Get-ItemProperty HKLM: \ Software \ Wow6432Node \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall \ * | I shall give in.
The PowerShell window will display all software you’ve installed, along with the version, developer name, and the date it was first downloaded.
This information can be exported to a text file, you have to go to the end of the list where PS C:\ is shown followed by our username, to do the following:
To the right of the prompt, copy and paste the following: Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select object display name, display version, publisher, installation date | Format – Table – Auto Size > C:\Users\??? \ Documents \ InstalledPrograms.txt
You can replace question marks with file path and document name with our computer details for example C:\Users\??? \ Documents \ InstalledPrograms.txt This way you will have a txt file with all the programs you have installed on your computer.

You can also use third-party software such as Geek Uninstaller or UninstallView.
In the case of Geek Uninstaller, apart from being a program to uninstall any program in Windows, it is used to export a list of all the programs installed in the operating system.
As soon as you press the key combination Ctrl + S, a file with the programs will be created automatically. You can even export it to HTML.
