(Un-tick keys and values and just leave data ticked). Use Regedit's search function and set it to look for the name of your program as it appears in the "programs and features" list of installed programs. That registry key contains a whole lot of sub-keys with GUID names (big long strings of seemingly random letters and numbers). You can use Regedit to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. Windows stores the list of uninstaller locations in the registry. As such, the process can be a little different depending where you got the software from in the first place.You can get some clues as to where an application lives, by looking at where it's uninstaller is located. Removing apps and programs from Windows 10 isn’t difficult, but it’s also not a universal process covering everything yet. In more recent versions of Windows 10, this should do the trick without ‘Control Panel’ opening, but in older versions you’ll probably still have to follow the step above as well. Find the one you want to remove and click ‘Uninstall’.
Under ‘Apps & Features’ you’ll find a complete list of the apps and programs installed on your PC. If a custom installer needs to remove the software it will now run.Īlternatively, you can head into the ‘Settings’ app and locate the ‘Storage’ section inside ‘System’. Find the app or program again, ‘right-click’ on it and select ‘Uninstall’ or click the ‘Uninstall button’ at the top of the window. You will now be taken to the ‘Control Panel’ where the actual uninstall will happen. ‘Right-click’ on it and select ‘Uninstall’. Open the ‘Start Menu’ and locate the app or program you want to uninstall. But there’s still some crossover with the old faithful ‘Control Panel’. The good news is that in more recent versions of Windows 10, the process can be very similar to the steps above for Store-based apps.
