When I try open "unistall a program" from the control panel it wont open. Any help? I am using win 10
 
Hi, please try the following:

SFC Scan


  1. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

    sfc /scannow

    Wait for this to finish before you continue

    copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt
  4. This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Please attach this to your next post.
 
[FONT=&quot]Usually when i am unable to remove software from the control panel i do the following.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Start with task manager and stop and process that is related to the software. then go to windows explorer and remove every folder related to the software that you can find. check all profiles, program files folder and windows file folder.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Then search the registry for the software and remove every key that is related. ...BE VERY CAREFUL DOING THIS... you can really hose up you system if you delete the wrong keys. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]anyhow,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Once this is completed reboot your computer and when you back to control panel and attempt to remove the software it will display an error saying "this software appears to have been removed already do you want to remove it from this list" and when you click yes it goes away.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Good luck.[/FONT]
