How to find program on computer?

larrydonline · 24 Aug 2020

I'm puzzled over why I can't find a program by searching, no matter what words I use, although the program is plainly there on the Apps & Features page in Settings.

It's Logitech SetPoint 6.69. I used it when I installed it and want to make changes but I can't find it in the Cortina search function.

It's also listed on the "Uninstall or Change a program" page in Programs and Features. The computer can't find it by searching for it, so how do I access it?

Any suggestions, please?

Have you tried downloading and searching with => Everything.

I hope this helps!

Larry,

Isn't SetPoint only accessible through the dialog in the Mouse section of Control panel?
- That is how it used to be accessed up to the latest version I used which was v6.67.
- I did find one note about it also beng accessible though its System Tray / Notification area icon as well but I think that was itself set up by entries in the dialog in the Mouse section of Control panel.

Create a shortcut using the code or Start - Run:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\SetPoint.exe" /s

I don't use Cortana, but I went to Search via Start>Settings>Search and entered "Logitech . . . " That produced:

From there, the exact location of the program can be found by selecting "Open file location" from the menu at the right

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the many suggestions. I did find that it's a tab on mouse settings in control panel. However, I'm still disappointed because when I set it up I was able to change it's color from white or black to yellow. I still can't find that option again in either Logitech's or the system's mouse settings.

Larry,

LogiTech used to produce Help articles on their website so you might try there [their search function also returns links to their user forum].

Best of luck,
Denis

Larry, if it's the pointer color you want to change, have you tried doing so here?

YES! That's the setting I needed. They sure spread all the changes that can be made to anything all over the settings.
Thanks very much.
Larry
