Get app name from its Appx Package Name | PowerShell

To get the package name of an UWP app:

(Get-AppxPackage "Microsoft.WindowsStore").Name

But what if you want to get the actual name of the app (which is displayed in Start menu). Ex: Microsoft Store.

Is there a way for that?

You can get the display name from the package manifest:

$manifest = Get-AppxPackage 'Microsoft.WindowsStore' |Get-AppxPackageManifest

$displayName = $manifest.Package.Properties.DisplayName

$displayName now contains the display name Microsoft Store
