Unable to uninstall downloaded game

Hi Jessica,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you try deleting the game from safe mode with networking.

To go to Safe Mode with Networking.

• On the login screen, click on the Power icon.
• Click on Restart while pressing the
  Shift key.
• A blue screen will appear with a few options.
  Click on Troubleshoot > Advanced Settings > Startup Settings > Restart.
• Your system will restart, once you click on
  Restart. After the Manufacturer's logo display, you will view a blue screen with several options. Click
  F5 or 5 to go to Safe Mode with Networking.
• Once, you have logged in to safe mode with networking, press
  Windows key + X and click on Control Panel.
• Under Programs, click on
  Uninstall a program.
• Search and click on your game.
• Select Uninstall.

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

Regards,

 

Can't boot into Normal/Safe Mode with Networking, only safe mode...

Good Evening,
I could do with some pointers on resolving an issue. I can only boot into windows in safe mode in Windows 10. Normal mode and safe mode with networking doesn't work. The problem occurred after a windows update. I have removed the latest updates that were installed and cleared any pending ones but it still won't boot properly. I have also run the troubleshooter and tried to recovery to an earlier date which also doesn't work.
The laptop is a HP ENVY 17 notebook. At boot it just gets to the HP logo with the circular loading icon and no further and can only boot it into safe mode. Can anyone recommend the next steps? I have also tried the following;

• stopping startup items
• uninstalling hardware drivers
• removing recent software
• running troubleshooters at boot
• sfc scan
• diagnostic/selective startups with minimal services running

Would the fact that I cant boot into Safe Mode with Networking imply its a network driver related issue?
Bit of a dead end really, any help would be much appreciated
Kind regards
Trevor
