windows 10 please wait until the current program finishes uninstalling message

Whenever I try to uninstall a program from programs and features in windows 10 build 15063.540 I get the following message "Please wait until the current program finishes uninstalling or being changed". If I reboot the computer the message goes away and
I can uninstall another program and then I have to reboot again to uninstall the next one. In none of these cases does the program I'm uninstalling tell me to reboot to finish the uninstall.

If i try to uninstall from the apps screen in settings, it will ask me if i want to uninstall the program, it spins for a few seconds and then goes back to the apps screen with the program I wanted to uninstall still in the list.

I ran a sfc /scannow and it didn't find anything.

This reboot stuff is getting really tedious. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

To uninstall programs, go to Settings.

• On the Start menu, then select Settings.
• Select System > Apps & features.

• Follow the directions on the screen.

If you are still unable to uninstall the program, follow the steps below.

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?
