I have installed Ubuntu app from Microsoft Store on Windows 10 1903. For some reasons I want to know its GUID. How can I get that, may be using some command on CMD or Powershell?

  • Navigate to the Windows Store.
  • Enter the name of the app in the search bar.
  • Copy the app id from URL. The app id for Ubuntu is 9nblggh4msv6.
  • Now open https://bspmts.mp.microsoft.com/v1/public/catalog/Retail/Products/<app id>/applockerdata after replacing the <app id> with the app id of the application.

  • The page's content will look like this:

    {
  "packageFamilyName": "CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc",
  "packageIdentityName": "CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows",
  "windowsPhoneLegacyId": "ba50f801-2d96-4517-a737-575f32f0fb61",
  "publisherCertificateName": "CN=23596F84-C3EA-4CD8-A7DF-550DCE37BCD0"
}

    The windowsPhoneLegacyId is the required GUID.

I can't comment on above answer as not enough points...so to add more help for folks who use a different version of Ubuntu, specifically on 20.04 LTS. I found the URL by Sharing it in the Windows Store app on my computer (I suppose website may have been a better choice) and select copy url option to get the new app id (9n6svws3rx71) and then used the same url as mentioned by Kulfy to get to https://bspmts.mp.microsoft.com/v1/public/catalog/Retail/Products/9n6svws3rx71/applockerdata The content looks like:

{   
"packageFamilyName": "CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc",
"packageIdentityName": "CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04onWindows",  
"windowsPhoneLegacyId": "ca5e8315-170a-4dea-8d85-92ace76427bb",   
"publisherCertificateName": "CN=23596F84-C3EA-4CD8-A7DF-550DCE37BCD0" 
}
