Windows 10: unable to uninstall programs, adminstrator blocked

I tried to uninstall some apps as I usually do but I get a dialogue box with a red header that says unwise.exe cannot uninstall because the administrator has blocked this. It is my personal computer and it says I am the administrator. Any suggestions?

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

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.

Any suggestions? *Confused
