    Attempting to uninstall software, but Windows is not recognizing me as an admin, when I am...


    Windows 10 Pro22H219045.5608Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19061.1000.0I am attempting to uninstall some software and it's not working. I believe that part of the problem is that the software's uninstall directory is set to read only.Easy fix, right? Nope.When removing read only I get a pop up that says "You will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes."There are two options on the pop up, continue or cancel. Hitting continue does absolutely nothing. No password, not read only removal, nothing.It's extremely frustrating because I am the administrator:C:\WINDOW

    cant uninstall 3dmark06

    Should do the job, if you cant uninstall it, just delete everything you can find via windows explorer, and if it refuses to go, use some fileshredding software like what you suggested above!

    Uninstall button greyed out in software center for Power BI

    I can't get software center to uninstall Power BI, or even to recognize that it has been uninstalled. The user had 3 listings for Power BI (possibly using multiple update versions) in Add/Remove programs, but uninstalling them from there did not change
    the status in software center. Uninstall button is still greyed out. As a coworker suggested, I ran the software inventory cycle in configuration manager, but this has not updated the status of the software in Software Center. Little help?
