Is SanPDF spyware? How can I get rid of it completely?

Hello

How can I uninstall SanPDF?
(From: www.sanpdf.com)

It is still listed when I go into Control Panel ==> Programs and Features ==> Uninstall or change program, yes I can still see it. It looks like this:





BUT when I click on it and select Uninstall, I then get this message in weird (Chinese?) characters.





I am now worried that SanPDF is some hideous form of spyware.

I have even tried Microsoft's Install and Uninstall utility ("MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab") but that can't even see SanPDF.
I wish the heck I had never installed SanPDF!

Any suggestions?

Unable to use Microphone on the computer

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to use Microphone on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• Were you able to use Microphone on your computer earlier?
  
• What is the make and model of the Microphone that you are using?
  

Ideally, if we add a new Microphone to the computer, we will need to go through the setup process to use it, let me help you with the steps. I would suggest you to refer the article on
How to set up and test microphones in Windows 10 and setup
the Microphone. Once the Microphone is setup, you can start using it.



If you still face issues, I would suggest you to refer the article on
Fix microphone problems and see if that helps.



Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



Regards,

Nikhar Khare
