    Can't find an app's uninstall registry


    I wanted to manually delete an app called "Roblox" using the registry editor, I tried to use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UninstallandHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstallto find the apps uninstall registry, but I cant find it. How do I find the DisplayName, UninstallsString of the app? Or even the app itself?The app is in 32bits. Any help would be much appreciated.

    :)

    Removing app from Windows registry

    Hi Calvin,

    Thank you for being part of Microsoft Community.

    • Is the issue specific to a particular app?
    • What other steps have you tried before the registry step in order to uninstall that app?

    Please reply to the questions in order to assist you in a better way.

  3. Uninstalling app that isn't on registry

    I tried to download a new version of Quicken and the first step of the new version required uninstalling prior version. This step crashed and I've tried to manually uninstall Quicken but it doesn't show up on my app list to uninstall.

    I can still click this file to open my old Quicken:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Quicken

    Name Type

    qw Application

    So it's still there but how can I uninstall?

    Can't find an app's uninstall registry

    Completely uninstall provisioned apps: how-to and detailed explanation

    Sorry, that can't work, because you're searching for neutral after quering without -PackageTypeFilter. That is: you retrieve only Main and Framework packages and then you search the ones with an undefined architecture.
    You should rather use:
    Code:
    But I would suggest you to query the registry as I suggested in my last post. That should be even better because you're not relying on assumptions on Get-AppxPackage. With a registry query you're asking Windows which Bundle apps it has installed.
    Or, if you feel like, try both and compare the results. *Biggrin
    Cheers,
    Mark
