    Add Remove Programs


    I have access to the CP but when I click on add remove programs and try to remove one, I am redirected right back to the desktop. This type of Bug should have been solved months ago, oh wait It worked months ago but now 2 days from launch and it doesn't.

    :)

    remove entry from add/remove programs

    The uninstall utility might have entries which point to non existing programs (apps). Programs which were deleted from inside the program, but it's uninstall procedure did not clean out the registry entry. I have found no way of removing the offending entry
    with out editing the registry. The conventional place to search the registry for these errant entries is:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    I also found additional uninstall registry entries at:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    Use safe practices when editing the registry.

    You could do a system restore using a restore point dated before this happened to undo whatever caused it for you.

    Did that and it did not work. You say it works for you. Did you upgrade from Windows 7?? It "works for me seems to be the number one answer here".. Anyway I am back on Windows 7 as this build is far from ready for prime time. If I go back to Windows 10 it will be long after the 29th.

    "It works for me" is just a way to say that it's an issue on your PC and not the build itself.

    I did a clean install of 10166 and updated to 10240.

    I personally prefer clean installs to avoid the issues that can come from an upgrade.

    Yes I know, but it is hard to do a clean upgrade and keep all of your programs. I will try again at a later date.
