    Unknown Installation Running, Preventing Installs


    Hello, I have been trying to unistall AVG all morning but it can't complete as there's a installation running, but to my knowledge there isn't another one running and I can't work out what it is? It's not a problem with AVG as iv'e tried unistalling other programs and they say there's a installation running to. Anyone got any ideas how to stop this mystery installation? Thanks

    Buying a new License Key for Windows 10 Pro

    No need to go through the download process, the product key is provided separately and you can enter it into your existing installation.

    Because the source of the original installation is unknown, it would still be best to perform a new install, but you are not prevented from using it with a new genuine key.

    Try this.

    Right click on the window in the bottom left of your screen; or right-click on the task bar and open Task Manager. Look down the processes tab for AVG. Right-click to "end task. " It will give you a warning. Ignore it and end the task. Now try the uninstall.
