Charles,
I think you first have to start with a definition of "applications".
- Just formally installed packages found in the "Programs and Features" control panel?
- Including packages installed via "the store" that appear in the "Apps" setting pane?
- All files with an EXE extension in "\Program Files*"?
- All files with EXE extension anywhere on C:\?
- Include .JAR files and other runtime binaries?
- What about advanced (though text-based) PowerShell and VBS (and Python, etc.) scripts with GUIs?
- Command line scripts?
Basically, it's not so straightforward. Step back from the question and consider the goal.
