Windows 10: utorrent folder location

I have downloaded and presumably installed utorrent. I did go through the setup wizard. Although I chose a start-up menu and desktop shortcut, I did not get either one. utorrent will launch and I pinned the shortcut to the taskbar. Once I exit utorrent the taskbar shortcut disappears.

Where is the utorrent folder located?

I have, with utorrent running, looked into the Task Manager. utorrent is listed, but "Open File Location" and "Properties" don't work.

I looked into the %appdata% folder and there is no utorrent folder in there either.

I also went in Control Panel to the list of installed applications, and utorren is not listed.

I have looked online for solutions, but so far nothing has worked. I cann't find where utorrent is installed. At this point, I would just like to uninstall it along with any crapware that may have come with it.

If I didn't know better (and I'm not sure), I would think utorrent is actually running directly of the .exe file - if that is possible.

Please help me find the utorrent folder and uninstall it and everything that may have come with it.

SkypeHost.exe usage high CPU

Is this related to uTorrent client?

I had the same SkypeHost.exe high cpu usage problem.

I did everything I could do with Skype but to no avail.

I noticed that the latest app I installed was uTorrent client and I removed it.

Avira sent out a notice that certain files under uTorrent folder has malicous codes.

I followed what Avira recommended and then followed through the removal process.

After removing uTorrent client, SkypeHost.ext stopped bugging me.

 

How one can associate a given extension (.torrent) to a certain program (utorrent)?

Download install UTorrent/bittorrent...

for some reason we can't add extensions

So... When you download the torrent you have to use that how to open popup more apps >look for app on pc> default for utorrent/Bittorrent hopefully should be CLICK ON this PC> DOUBLE CLICK Windows/Local Disk C:> Program files("Program files(x86)" if you
have it) >Utorrent/Bittorrent and look for Utorrents/Bittorrents symbol and double click it...

In order to get the pop up for How to open goto the downloads folder it should end with .Torrent after the filename or you can do it the lazy way redownload it and it'll pop up again...

 

Please open Task Manager and from Details tab right-click on a column heading and choose Select Columns from the context menu.






Place a check mark for Image path name and click OK button.

If you want to uninstall utorrent you can use Revo Uninstaller program.

 

Thank you so much! This has been driving me nuts.

utorrent is installed in user/appdata/roaming/. That's the appdata folder in my administrator account.

When I searched for %appdata% I only ever got to the %appdata% folder. That's the appdata folder in my user account.

I must have installed utorrent when I was logged into my administrator account!

 

Have you tried Revo Uninstaller program?

 

Well, no, because in the admin account, in Control Panel, under Installed Apps, I used the uninstall option. It seems to have worked, because I can't find any traces of utorrent in the in %appdata%/roaming.

 

Is there anything else i can help you with?

 

Right now I'm good. I thank you very much for taking the time.
