Windows 10: Uninstall or change program - now only shows name and size

I went to uninstall some newly installed software. In the uninstall screen, it only shows the name of the program and the size. It does not show the date or type. I used to be able to sort by date to find new software, but it doesn't show the date. How can I get the date column back?

Uninstall a program that doesn't show up?

I downloaded and installer a Program(YouTubeToMP4). It went to Programs (x86) and does not show up on the Uninstall list.

Any suggestions?

 

Are Program Sizes Reasonable As Shown in “Uninstall or Change a Program"?

Under “Uninstall or change a program” in the Control Panel, I happened to notice some peculiarities in the sizes. Examples:

Adobe Acrobat X Pro is 9.65GB

Caliber 64bit is 1.93GB

Eight programs (HP Smart Print, KnowBrainer Professional, Overdrive for Windows, Omron Health Management Software, HL-L2340D, Xmarks for IE, MS Office Labs Search Commands, UAC Trust Shortcut) are 1.70GB, 1.69GB, or 1.68GB

Three programs for an HP Deskjet 1000 are 1.06GB, 1.05GB, and 1.04GB.

Four Adobe programs (Contribute CS5, Content Viewer, Widget Browser, and Community help) that are shown as being installed the same day all happen to be the same size: 519MB.

Some programs were tiny when installed. The folder for UAC Trust Shortcut (under c:/Programs), for example, is less than 1MB. Yet the size for uninstalling it is more than a thousand fold greater.

Clearly files in addition to the original download file would be deleted when programs are uninstalled but it does not seem reasonable that large files would be needed for simple programs such as UAC Trust Shortcut.

Question 1: Is it correct to assume that sizes shown in this list can include many files in addition to the installed program file, including some that are very large?

Question 2: Are the sizes shown for these programs reasonable, even for very simple programs?

Question 3: If they are not reasonable, what could account for the sizes?

Question 4: Is there any reason for concern that several programs have similar or identical sizes? It doesn’t seem like there could be but thought it worth asking.

Question 5: If there is a problem, what can be done?
