When using tablets you can check to see when was the last time you used an App to determine if you actually need that program on your device.  I know how to find when a program was installed, but wonder if there is a way to check when a program was last used? 

Thanks

    Hi Dgoto

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    Windows 10 does not track when an application was last executed, in File Explorer, you an add a 'Last Used' column to the Details View, however, that functionality has not worked since Windows Vista, for some unknown reason, Windows no longer tracks that . . .

    Hi Don

    Windows 10 does not have a feature to list apps you have not used in a while, and I cannot see a utility that can do that either . . .

    Hi Dgoto

    Here are a few utilities that can do that, Apps Tracker looks good and it is free . . .
