    There's no "display all 10,000 apps" option. You can either click on a category (like "games>" and then browse by filter (by subcategory of game, and organizing them by notable, by rating, etc), or you can use the charms search to look for an app with a particular name. There are 10,000+ options out there, but it'll never display more than a couple hundred at once, so you need to browse by category or search by name to find what you're looking for.

    Finally after alot of trying i found there was a settings menu for the app store and i could only see "dutchs" apps.
    So easy after all but still took me hours to find it. :)
