  1. Problem uninstalling applications


    So I wanted to uninstall a program and I went into the Windows Uninstall or Remove a Program in settings. However, there I saw some old programs that I manually uninstalled, and I can't find any way to remove them. If I click Uninstall I get an error saying it can't find the uninstall.exe. So is there a way to remove them or will they be there forever?

    Revo Uninstaller

    free version doesn't list 64bit applications, hence totally helpless to remove them, while native windows uninstaller will do that.

    only paid version revo uninstaller pro does and also another paid program called your uninstaller.

    Uninstalling Problem

    Hi Shaarif,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

    Let me confirm that if the application in installed successfully then you can find the same under Programs and Features in Control Panel. Moreover, it will also give an option to uninstall the application from Programs. You can also crosscheck this application
    under All apps in the Start menu.

    Also, suggest you to enable the built-in Administrator account and check if you can uninstall the application from that account. To enable built-in Administrator account, follow the steps below:

    • Right Click on Start and select “Command Prompt (Admin)”.
    • Accept the UAC prompt if required.
    • Type “net user administrator /active:yes” (without quotes).
    Once you have enabled the account, you will see it listed in the user accounts control panel applet.

    Login to the account and check if the game gets installed.

    To disable the built-in Administrator account, follow the steps provided above and in step 3 type the command line provided below:

    “net user administrator /active:yes” (without quotes).

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to
    write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
