Windows 10: Removing a stuck program entry from program list

If a program has been kind of removed but is stuck on the program list, are there any better ways to remove or is it only system restore which takes forever?

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading program list?!

Looks to me that you POSSIBLY have registry corruption in this section of the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

*Frown

* That's where the "Add/Remove Programs" lists are coming from...

APK

P.S.=> Taking a peek in there @ some of the entries MAY lend you a hand here (or not), but do take a squint @ that section, as you may find out what exactly is causing your inability for that list to populate for you, properly, quite possibly... Good luck! apk

 

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading program list?!

Add Remove Programs in Windows XP doesn't finish loading the program list (It never even starts displaying any programs) and I believe it may be that a uninstall program messed up completely and Windows can't figure out what programs are installed because of it. What is the problem? Please?

 

How to remove double entries same program in uninstall software

I'm not sure how it happens. It often happens for me with Mozilla programs. For some reason an update to a new version creates a new entry in the list, leaving the older version still listed.

I use CCleaner to delete the extra listings. This does not uninstall the program, it just deletes the extra entry you choose from the Programs and Features list.
CCleaner > Tools > Uninstall > use the Delete button, not the Unistall button.
I learned the hard way that uninstalling the older, extra program listed uninstalls the current program, because there is really only one program installed. Probably not what you want.

CCleaner is just deleting the Windows Registry entry for the extra listing. You can manually do this, but using CCleaner is faster and easier.
