Windows 10: Can't get rid of drivers left by Paragon Free Backup

I have had a number of BSODs recently and at least one of them was caused by a driver called uimbus.sys, which turned out to be part of Paragon Free Backup. I had completely forgotten that I had installed this software, and since I wasn't using it, I had no hesitation in running the uninstaller, but after rebooting, when I was trying to set up Driver Verifier, I found that uimbus.sys and a number of other drivers that are part of Paragon Backup were still there. So I looked in my app settings and found that Paragon hadn't been installed after all. So I ran the uninstaller again, and this time Paragon finally left my list of installed apps, but after rebooting and starting to configure Driver Verifier again, I found that the Paragon drivers were still there. How can I get rid of this Paragon garbage? Is it enough simply to take ownership of the driver files and delete them, or do things need to change in the registry?

I am using Windows version 1909.

Paragon Driver for Windows

I have the same issue. WIn10 sees the drive in device manager and in devices and printers but still cannot read and write to my Seagate backup +. for Mac Went through steps as suggested by Microsoft and it returns that I have latest driver.

I have contacted support for both Paragon and Seagate. Let's see what the reply will be Tuesday after Labor Day.

This is the full version from Paragon, not the driver HFS4WIN version 9.1 available to download from Seagate by Paragon to support their MAC backup drive to run on windows10. The Seagate site FAQ says this version is compatible with WIN10. NOT!

Hi Davi,

Welcome to Microsoft community.

I understand the inconvenience caused to you. I will be glad to assist you with your issue.

Windows 10 requires all the drivers up to date. If your External HDD is not working on Windows 10 then I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

I would suggest you to update the chipset drivers from the manufacture’s website and check if it helps.

Step 1: You can update drivers from the Device Manager.

Follow the steps to update drivers from the
Device Manager:

• Right click on Start button, type Device Manager and Enter.
• Find the drivers which needs to be installed and also see if there are any warning symbols. If yes update the drivers.
• Right click and click on Properties, and go to
  Driver tab and click on Update driver.

If the issue still persists, try to install drivers in Compatibility mode and check.

Step 2: Refer the steps:

a. Download the Drive from the manufacture’s website, Right click on the setup file and select Properties.

b. Click the compatibility tab, tick the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode for and select Windows.
