I wrote this article simply because I needed to get the AUMID of an Application needed for kiosk mode setup. Follow the steps discussed below to achieve this.
Example one: Via the GUI (Windows Explorer). Search for run dialog box and type the following to open the Application Explorer
– shell:Appsfolder
This will open the following application explorer window.
Select details on the right hand pane
Access the View menu ALT+V, choose Choose Details
– or use the f10 key to display the view and click choose details
Check the box next to AppUserModelId and press OK
This will display the result below
Note: When you close the Application Explorer, this option is unchecked by default.
Example 2: Via PowerShell to get the AUMID of an Application.
run the PowerShell script as shown below.
$installedapps = get-AppxPackage
$aumidList = @()
foreach ($app in $installedapps)
{
foreach ($id in (Get-AppxPackageManifest $app).package.applications.application.id)
{
$aumidList += $app.packagefamilyname + "!" + $id
}
}
$aumidList
Also, you can run just the code below to get a list of all installed apps via PowerShell
get-AppxPackage
