WIN-009 · Script
Installed Software Inventory
Builds a list of installed software for the whole device and saves it as a CSV.
Version 1.0.0Language PowerShellUpdated November 2026Report only, changes nothing
What it does
Reads the standard uninstall registry locations for 64-bit apps, 32-bit apps, and per-user apps for every loaded user profile. It does not query the Win32_Product class, which is slow and can trigger app repairs. Saves results to a CSV file and prints a summary. Read-only.
Requirements
Windows PowerShell 5.1+, run as SYSTEM or local admin
How to run it
- Run as: SYSTEM or a local administrator
- Run from: any RMM or MDM, Intune, a Group Policy startup script, a scheduled task, or an elevated PowerShell window
- Script type: PowerShell, 64-bit
- User interaction: none; the script never prompts
- Timeout: 10 minutes (30 for Windows Update installs)
