Difference between all apps and installed in Uninstaller (HUV5)

I was wondering what the difference is in the Uninstaller section between the filter All Apps and Installed Apps?

My all Apps are like more then 100 the installed apps only 50.

"Installed Apps" are the apps that are supported in the home updater, while "All Apps" are everything installed on the machine. But yeah we should improve the naming 😁

ok thanks, but i saw a different number of apps in the my apps section and installed Apps in the uninstaller section. Could this be possible?

I think it has all older versions that are still installed for every app! Like for the older versions of MS VS C++ or Viber or Blender

Most users will have many programs (non-portables) installed on their machines which are not on PMPCHU's list of 412 supported non-portable programs. For example, only about 1/4 of the non-portable programs installed on my PC are covered by PMPCHU. PMPCHU does not support downloading and installing these apps or checking them for updates and they will never appear on your My Apps tab. These unsupported apps must be downloaded from other sites or media. However, their Windows installer or setup  programs will leave an uninstaller program as part of installation and related data in the Windows registry. PMPCHU has access to these uninstallers and data and is thus able to uninstall these apps even though they are not on its list of supported apps or were not installed through PMPCHU. As a result, the number of apps that PMPCHU can uninstall and that are listed on the Uninstall tab will generally be much larger than the number of apps listed on the My Apps tab. 

Another reason for the Uninstall tab to list more apps is that some supported programs have options to uninstall individual modules. PMPCHU may have downloaded and installed the full product by default, particularly for silent installs, but since it came with uninstallers for individual modules, multiple modules of the program may be listed separately on the Uninstall tab of PMPCHU. Python is an example of a program which has multiple entries on the Uninstall tab where only a single instance of Python appears on the My Apps tab.
