Windows 10: Uninstall a Windows 7 program on a Windows 10 computer, that doesn't show up in list of...

Good Afternoon,


I am running Windows 10 on my laptop. I tried to install a Windows 7 program for a car OBDII scanning tool, called "Actron". The program didn't install completely, and I hit the "cancel" button. The program did install a shortcut on my desktop, called "Actron LaunchPad". When I tried to uninstall the program, I couldn't find it in the "apps" list or the "program" list. Most of the files seem to be installed in C:\Program Data\Scanning Suite\Actron. What is the best way to uninstall this program and its associated files? Thank you for your help.

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading program list?!

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading the program list (It never even starts displaying any programs) and I believe it may be that a uninstall program messed up completely and Windows can't figure out what programs are installed because of it. What is the problem? Please?

Looks to me that you POSSIBLY have registry corruption in this section of the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

*Frown

* That's where the "Add/Remove Programs" lists are coming from...

APK

P.S.=> Taking a peek in there @ some of the entries MAY lend you a hand here (or not), but do take a squint @ that section, as you may find out what exactly is causing your inability for that list to populate for you, properly, quite possibly... Good luck! apk

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
