    I can bring up the list of installed apps, but I cannot select one to uninstall or modify it. When I click on an app in the list nothing happens. I am able to uninstall programs from Control Panel Add/Remove Programs. Windows 11 HomeVersion 22H2

    Weather App not working windows 8.1

    The apps troubleshooter wouldn't fix it on any of the machines. Tried syncing the app licenses, too. No dice. Uninstalling and reinstalling the MSN Weather App appears to have fixed it.

    Yea, just uninstall the app and then reinstall should resolve the issue. Check this out.

    EDIT: The version you have is incompatible

    Windows 11 home: I cannot uninstall apps from the Settings app

    Can I use msi Gaming App OC settings in Afterburner then uninstall Gaming App?

    Reposted in Graphics Cards section. Mods can you remove this post?

    Hello all,

    I bought an MSI GTX 760 TF OC Gaming Edition GPU last week. Unfortunately the OC isn't programmed into the BIOS and to get the highest Factory OC I need to use the MSI Gaming App. The problem is it does not start with Windows or remember your last Clock Selection.

    I know Afterburner can start with Windows and apply your last selected profile.

    So can I......

    1. Open Gaming App and select OC.
    Open GPU-Z and see how much the Clock Speed has increased.
    Restore the default Clock (Gaming).
    Open Afterburner and apply the same increase to the clock value as the Gaming App gave me.
    Save the profile.
    Tick the 'Start with Windows' box.
    Uninstall the Gaming App.

    2. Will the above effectively apply the same OC as the gaming App and therfore make the Gaming App obsolete?

    3. Also I've read on some forums that Afterburner will only OC the MSI card if the gaming App is installed. I'm away from home so cannot test any of this. Maybe this was the case with the original version of the gaming app. can anyone confirm?

    4. Also I've read people reporting that once the OC has been applied it is locked at this high clock and doesn't downclock when idle. From what I've seen the Gaming App does downclock depending on GPU demand. As does Afterburner. Can anyone confirm?

    I don't know why MSI did things this way. It's a Gaming Edition card so there should be a way of applying the factory OC and leaving it set that way. The Gaming App is a nice simple little tool but as a bare minimum they should let us start it with Windows and automatically apply the last selected Clock profile.

    Dragging the shortcut into the start-up folder doesn't work for me. And even if it did, the last profile selection is not remembered.

    Many thanks in advance,
