  1. Installing and uninstalling apps


    I'm trying to uninstall Microsoft store apps and update some but I run into 2 problems.

    Whenever I try to uninstall an app it says error code:0x80073cf1

    And when I try to update it says error code:0xC0020036
    I went into command prompt and ran the sfc /scanow but it did not find any problems. I have rebooted my PC multiple times but I cannot do anything about the store apps. Is there a way to fix this?

    :)

  2. 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.

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

    Installing and uninstalling apps

    Uninstall or change a program (Some installed apps not listed) !


    Hi guys and thanks for your replies.
    As you suggested Irene I have them listed in "All apps" but it's still not normal not having them listed in windows 10 uninstall app!
    And Roy Computer>C>Users>yourname>appdata>local has all the apps that are currently in " Uninstall or change a program" but
    the apps that are not there are not in this folder either!
    Anyway I find this to be a strange behavior on windows 10 (never had this with any other version). Is this a bug? anyone else have this problem?
