    Cannot remove a app/program


    Hi Guys

    I installed the GREENSHOT image program, decided I don't want it but cannot UNinstall it.

    W10
    I have tried different ways, including my favorite Revo uninstall.
    I keep getting message " cannot uninstall as you have it running"
    I cannot see it running anywhere including in Task Manager
    Keep getting told to go to properties r/c etc, tried but cant do it.

    Thought maybe find the exe file and delete that, cant find it.

    HELP !!! please

    According to
    Cannot uninstall Greenshot on Windows 10 - Super User
    you can close Greenshot
    either
    by right clicking on its icon in the system tray then choosing Exit,
    or
    by ending its task in Task manager,
    and then you'll be able to uninstall it.

    I did say, it does not show in task manager and there is no icon in taskbar ??

    Perhaps it is in Taskbar bit cannot see "hidden items "

    Solved it, I was able to use "hidden icons" and it was there, open, so I used Revo to uninstall.

    Thanks for help
