Hello All,
I wanted to have a list of all of the programs installed on my Windows 11 machine. This would supplement a complete system backup made with programs such as
https://www.acronis.com/en-us/products/true-image/ or
https://www.macrium.com/
I wanted a physical list of the software that I installed on my computer. There are several ways of accomplishing this. One way is to right click on the
Windows 11 Start Menu and click on
Apps and Features This will display all programs one screen at a time. Make a screen shot of each screen by pressing the PrtSC key on your keyboard. This will copy the visible content to the clipboard. Paste that content into either a graphics program like Irfanview or a word processing program such as Microsoft Word. Repeat the process until you have made screen captures of all of the displayed programs.
While this process works, it is laborious. Instead, I used the commercial program, Techsmith Snagit to make a scrolling capture of the software shown in
Apps and Features It captured all the programs in a single image.
I also used the freeware program, Belarc Advisor.'
https://www.belarc.com/products/belarc-advisor With it, I ran a report that listed all the installed programs. However, its listing included multiple versions of the programs and listed them in a less readable form.
Here are how two others suggested listing installed programs
