    installed apps not showing to uninstall


    Weird, I did a clean installation & installed some apps. I wanted to uninstall some apps, so I opened Revo & all it showed installed was Microsoft onedrive. I opened windows uninstall & found many apps, but none that I installed. Can anyone please advise me on how I should proceed?

    It can happen with badly written apps you could check there folders is there an uninstall there or an install which sometimes can give a remove option

    I checked a cd burner (nero express) which I thought was free & there was nothing in the location file. Audacity had an uninstall in the location file, ITunes didn't. It's strange when nothing show up on Revo, wondering if I did something in settings (by accident) that would affect it

    It depends on whether you use a Win32 installer version or a UWP app from the Microsoft Store. For example, both Apple and Microsoft push the UWP version of iTunes from the Microsoft Store.

    Coincidentally, in my experience the UWP version of iTunes is also the version that causes the most issues... so I always recommend the Win32 iTunes installer direct from Apple.

    Hope this helps...

    Itunes was just something I installed off on old set-up I had. I used it to try to fix my IPod. I'll find a way to get rid of it. It's all the rest that bothers me, but thank you for the reply

    Ok, nothings working right. I remembered MS installing a new build. I just restored the previous build. Now everything is normal. Thanks to those responding to my post. I hope you all have a great day. This post is solved.
