Find the Application User Model ID of an installed app
To configure assigned access (kiosk mode), you need the Application User Model ID (AUMID) of apps installed on a device. You can find the AUMID by using Windows PowerShell, File Explorer, or the registry.
To find the AUMID by using Windows PowerShell
To get the names and AUMIDs for all apps installed for the current user, open a Windows PowerShell command prompt and enter the following command:
Get-StartApps
To get the names and AUMIDs for Windows Store apps installed for another user, open a Windows PowerShell command prompt and enter the following commands:
$installedapps = Get-AppxPackage
$aumidList = @()
foreach ($app in $installedapps)
{
foreach ($id in (Get-AppxPackageManifest $app).package.applications.application.id)
{
$aumidList += $app.packagefamilyname + "!" + $id
}
}
$aumidList
You can add the -user <username>
or the -allusers
parameters to the Get-AppxPackage cmdlet to list AUMIDs for other users. You must use an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt to use the -user
or -allusers
parameters.
To find the AUMID by using File Explorer
To get the names and AUMIDs for all apps installed for the current user, perform the following steps:
Open Run, enter shell:Appsfolder, and select OK.
A File Explorer window opens. Press Alt > View > Choose details.
In the Choose Details window, select AppUserModelId, and then select OK. (You might need to change the View setting from Tiles to Details.)
To find the AUMID of an installed app for the current user by using the registry
Querying the registry can only return information about Microsoft Store apps that are installed for the current user, while the Windows PowerShell query can find information for any account on the device.
At a command prompt, type the following command:
reg query HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\ActivatableClasses\Package /s /f AppUserModelID | find "REG_SZ"
Example to get AUMIDs of the installed apps for the specified user
The following code sample creates a function in Windows PowerShell that returns an array of AUMIDs of the installed apps for the specified user.
function listAumids( $userAccount ) {
if ($userAccount -eq "allusers")
{
# Find installed packages for all accounts. Must be run as an administrator in order to use this option.
$installedapps = Get-AppxPackage -allusers
}
elseif ($userAccount)
{
# Find installed packages for the specified account. Must be run as an administrator in order to use this option.
$installedapps = Get-AppxPackage -user $userAccount
}
else
{
# Find installed packages for the current account.
$installedapps = Get-AppxPackage
}
$aumidList = @()
foreach ($app in $installedapps)
{
foreach ($id in (Get-AppxPackageManifest $app).package.applications.application.id)
{
$aumidList += $app.packagefamilyname + "!" + $id
}
}
return $aumidList
}
The following Windows PowerShell commands demonstrate how you can call the listAumids function after you've created it.
# Get a list of AUMIDs for the current account:
listAumids
# Get a list of AUMIDs for an account named "CustomerAccount":
listAumids("CustomerAccount")
# Get a list of AUMIDs for all accounts on the device:
listAumids("allusers")
Example to get the AUMID of any application in the Start menu
The following code sample creates a function in Windows PowerShell that returns the AUMID of any application currently listed in the Start menu.
function Get-AppAUMID {
param (
[string]$AppName
)
$Apps = (New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application).NameSpace('shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}').Items()
if ($AppName){
$Result = $Apps | Where-Object { $_.name -like "*$AppName*" } | Select-Object name,@{n="AUMID";e={$_.path}}
if ($Result){
Return $Result
}
else {"Unable to locate {0}" -f $AppName}
}
else {
$Result = $Apps | Select-Object name,@{n="AUMID";e={$_.path}}
Return $Result
}
}
The following Windows PowerShell commands demonstrate how you can call the Get-AppAUMID function after you've created it.
# Get the AUMID for OneDrive
Get-AppAUMID -AppName OneDrive
# Get the AUMID for Microsoft Word
Get-AppAUMID -AppName Word
# List all apps and their AUMID in the Start menu
Get-AppAUMID
