    Gamepass did not fully uninstall a file from my external


    So There is a file that says, "Windows App," on my external hard drive. It was created when I downloaded a game from Xbox Gamepass but I had to uninstall those games from that external hard drive because it made everything on my desktop disappear and made everything run ridiculously slow. And when I uninstalled it from gamepass, it didn't fully uninstall it apparently. So this file, "windows app," says I require permission from a TrustedInstaller to make changes to the folder. How am I supposed to get this folder off my external harddrive?? It is still causing issues with my computer when I le

    Program will not fully uninstall

    One possible reason why you can't uninstall this program is because it's still running. You can have it stopped first (from running) before uninstalling. See the steps below on how to do so:

    • Press the Windows key and type in "task manager"
    • Click on Task Manager and go to the Processes tab.
    • Look for the app you want to uninstall. Right-click on it and tick on
      End task
      .
    • After doing this so, try to uninstall the app.

    Let us know the outcome of this suggestion.

    Projecting to an external display

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Windows 10.

    I understand that you are unable to use external display with windows 10.

    This usually occurs if the video driver was not installed properly or not configured correctly.so I would suggest you to reinstall the drivers in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and see if it helps:

    Uninstall Display Adapter drivers

    I suggest you to uninstall the display drivers and reinstall them in compatibility mode.

    To uninstall the driver, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R
    • Type devmgmt.msc
    • Right click on the driver you want to uninstall
    • Click on Uninstall
    • Restart the system
    After the computer restarts, install the driver in compatibility mode.

    • Select the setup file
    • Right click on it and click on
      properties
    • Click on Compatibility tab
    • Select the operating system
    • Click Ok.
    Hope it helps, do get back to us if you need further assistance with Windows.

    How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

    I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

    Any suggestions? *Confused Gamepass did not fully uninstall a file from my external :confused:
