ControlUp Agent and Inventorying UWP Apps

Posted on September 5, 2025

A user had a question about the ControlUp agent on Windows Endpoints not inventorying UWP apps located in c:\program files\windowsapps\. A member of the ControlUp team confirms that this is because only 32/64 bit apps listed in Control Panel are currently supported, but there may be future updates. Another user requested the ability to query standard exe/msi apps and UWP apps that are installed in user profiles.
