Windows 10: Can Indexing Options stop you from finding an application to uninstall

This post grew out of an issue of trying to see if there's a way to uninstall QTTabBar Sandboxie License Activation.

I have QTTAbBar version 1040 installed. Neither HiBit Uninstaller nor Wise Program Uninstaller nor Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features\Uninstall or Change a Program lists QTTabBar. I'm wondering what could cause this.

I don't know if indexing options or something else could cause this. I took at my indexing options, which are:








When I installed QTTabBar, I simply ran the executable from within the zip file. Any idea why uninstallers can't find this program? Should I uninstall by using Wise Uninstaller on the executable & then trying a reinstall?

Thanks in advance.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused

Can't find my main hard drive on Indexing Options

Hi JoshuaSay,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC?
   
2. Have you installed all pending updates on the computer?
   
3. Does this issue occur on a different user account also?
   

This issue can occur if some of the system files are not working as expected.

Let us follow these steps one by one to check if that helps.

Step A: Run the Search and Indexing troubleshooter.

Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press “Windows key + X”, and click on Search.
   
2. Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the Search box and hit enter.
   
3. Select “View all” option from the left panel.
   
4. Select “Search and Indexing”.
   

Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter. Once this is done, close the services window and try to rebuild the Indexing on the PC.

Step B: Suggest you to check if the Windows Search Service is running in Automatic mode under the list of Windows services. You can follow the steps to check and start the Windows Search again:

1. Press Windows key +R keys to open Run. Type “services.msc” without quotes and hit Enter.
   
2. From the list of services, locate the Windows Search Support Service and Windows Search Service.
   
3. Right click on the Windows Search Service and then click on Properties.
   
4. Check if the service is running. If not, start the service and change the Startup type to Automatic. Once this is done, close the services window and try to rebuild the Indexing on the PC.
   

Step C: Suggest you to run the
SFC utility tool, restart the computer and check if that helps. System File Checker is a utility in Windows 10
that checks for system file corruption. Further, if need be, then you may also run the DISM restore health command to check if that makes any difference.

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking 'Yes' or 'No'.
