Windows 10: Pokki Icon

In my hidden icons, an icon named Pokki has recently appeared. When I open my control panel, there is no program with that name. How do I remove "pokki" from my computer? I am running Windows 10.

Pokki is a free digital distribution platform and Windows Shell extension by SweetLabs, Inc. that provides a mobile app-like interface for Windows-based computer It probably cane as bloatware on your Acer Systems and more than likely something you will
not use or need . . . If you want you can remove it like any other software: Go to the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu). Click Apps, wait for the list of apps to build, then find Pokki in the list and uninstall it

 

Pokki

Hi Andy,

Pokki is a free digital distribution platform and Windows Shell extension that provides a mobile app-like interface for Windows-based computer

It probably came as bloatware on your System and more than likely something you will not use or need . . .

If you want you can remove it like any other software - are you sure it is not listed in the Settings App interface?

Go to the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu).

Click Apps, wait for the list of apps to build, then find Pokki in the list and uninstall it

 

Pokki update

Hi Susan,

Was your PC originally Windows *, then updated to Windows 10?

Pokki is a utility used to add the missing Start Menu to Windows 8

You can safely uninstall Pokki from Control Panel = Programs and Features

Also check your Startup for that Pokki Updater:

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

Click on the Startup Tab

See if Pokki updater is listed there

If it is, select it and click 'Disable'

Close Task Manager

Click your Start Button, type msconfig and hit Enter

When the System Configuration dialog opens, click on the Services Tab

Check the box marked 'Hide Microsoft Services'

In the remaining list, see if Pokki updater is listed there, uncheck any you find

Click Apply and OK

Restart your System and this annoyance will be gone . . .
