How can I find which installed desktop apps bundle their own Chromium/Electron runtime?

Many modern desktop apps are built on Electron or CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework), which means each one ships and runs its own private copy of Chromium. This costs significant disk space and memory, and I'd like to audit my system to see exactly which of my installed apps do this.

I know the usual signatures of such apps are things like:

Electron's app.asar archive
A bundled "Electron Framework" or "Chromium Embedded Framework"
Chromium's data files such as icudtl.dat and *.pak

What I'm looking for is a reliable, repeatable way to enumerate these apps — ideally a single command or script that scans the usual install locations and lists the offenders, rather than me checking each app by hand.

I'm on Windows 11 Pro.

(I'm aware Chromium-based browsers like Chrome/Edge/Brave will also match these signatures — that's expected and not what I'm trying to flag.)

Top Answer/Comment:

Comment: So you've already got a few things to look for: what, precisely, are you hoping that we can do for you? Right now your question appears to be asking that we write or find a script or utility which will find these things for you. Note that those sorts of questions are specifically off-topic on this site. This is not a script-writing of software-recommending service. Have you begun writing a script yourself? If you have and you're struggling with a specific part of that script, we can help you with that, but you'll have to rewrite your question to indicate that.
