Windows 10: Using WMI to remove software with wildcard or variable names?

Hello all – We have multiple versions of teamviewer softwareon multiple PCs. I need to get rid of them all about 1500 installs and using WMI commands is a goodbet it seems like. I don’t want tocreate long scripts with MSI Product code uninstall strings and what not. On our PCs. Installed TeamViewer is a mix ofversions and products. In Add/Removeprograms, it might be:


TeamViewer Host

TeamViewer 6

TeamViewer 13

TeamViewer


As there are multiple ways to remove each version, I’dlike a ‘catch all’ using a common variable and WMI commands. I can do a simple task kill on the runningEXE and to close the running program. So, I thought to use:


wmic product where "name like 'TeamViewer%%'"call uninstall


I ran the above with admin creds on a local pc with ‘TeamViewer6’ installed. However, it says noinstance found, even though it’s in Add/Remove programs. Can you see a syntax error with that commandline?

File Explorer Search fails wildcard partial numeric name search.

The indexing trouble shooter did not find any problem.
System File Check result was: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.10586.0 found No component store corruption detected.

I do not believe that my system has any problem as the wildcard partial numeric name search issue occurs on all Windows 10 systems of family and friends.
I believe the priority of this issue should be raised because the Search Results vary depending on the number of files involved creating confusion and incorrect results. With less than 40 files the wildcard partial numeric name search returns the correct
results. With more than 50 files the wildcard search becomes a whole number search only listing files that have the exact number. With *2345 in the search box and more than 50 files in focus, Search will Not list 123456.txt but will only list 2345.txt.
With less than 40 files in focus All files with any numeric string containing 2345 will be listed.

System environment variable won't stick

Running Win10 Home on an Acer Spin 3, 64bit, i7cpu. I try to add a path to the system environment variables by:

1. Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Environment variables

2. The "Environment Variables" window opens.
3. In the "System Variables" pane I select "Path" and click the EDIT button.
4. A list of the current system paths is displayed.
5. I click the NEW button, browse to the path I want to add which is "C:\Python36-32" and click OK. The path "C:\Python36-32" is added to the list of current system paths.
6. I click OK and am returned to the "Environment Variables" window.
7. I click the "X" at the top right to close the "Environment Variables" window.

Now if I click the "Environment Variables" button again (end of step-1) and repeat steps 2-4, the new path I added in step-5 is gone. IOW, adding a new path won't stick.

What am I doing wrong?
