Windows 10: Why can't I uninstall Team-machine wide installer?

When I tried to uninstall "Team-machine wide installer", a message popped up saying "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows installer is not correctly installed." How do you resolve this problem and is "team-machine-wide installer needed?

Uninstall problem for Teams Machine-Wide Installer

Thanks for responding. I ran the script and it removed teams but not the machine wide installer. Im still not able to access that myself either. I tried reboot in safe mode but bitlocker asked for my recovery key and that stumped me.

 

Uninstall problem for Teams Machine-Wide Installer

I am a relative novice with Windows 10. Recently my lap top became overwhelmed and locked up due to Teams eating up CPU time at 90-100%. Task Manager showed three different tasks running as Teams. Perhaps this was a major update but it lasted all day. I
have no use for Teams and would like to uninstall it but the directions proved do not work for me. I can uninstall Teams but every time I try to uninstall Teams Machine-Wide Installer I am told

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission."

So of course Teams reinstalls and the problem starts over again. I am the only user and a far as I can tell I am the administrator.

What gives? Its infuriating that software I don't want and never asked for ends up on my computer and I have to waste all this time trying to remove it.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

Uninstalling Microsoft Teams

Thank you so much, it did help. As soon as I uninstalled MS Teams Machine-wide it automatically uninstalled MS teams.
