[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1078233, member: 31436"] I just used the new version and tried to uninstall a number of apps. The uninstaller for one the apps showed a prompt saying that it couldn't access some file, with a number of options. The first option was retry. Because Uninstalr tried to automate the uninstall process, it kept selecting this option, resulting in an endless loop. However, I was able to move the mouse pointer and select a different option, so that the uninstall could continue. One of the apps that was uninstall required a reboot and gave me the option to reboot. After rebooting, Uninstalr didn't launch again to continue the uninstall process. When I launched it manually, it did not continue where it left off. I presume, it should restart after rebooting so it can remove the leftovers of the apps it has uninstalled and uninstall the remaining ones. There were two Microsoft Store apps I wanted to uninstall. They had been selected to be uninstall originally, but they were missed since Uninstalr did not continue the uninstall process after rebooting. Uninstalr was unable to uninstall either app. When attempting to uninstall Netflix, which is one of those apps, for some reason Uninstalr closes, but the app remains installed. Uninstalr restarts Windows when trying to uninstall the second app. After Windows restarts, the app is still installed. Another bug is that on my main PC, the text in the options window is cut off, unless I maximise the window. On a second PC, I don't have this issue. [ATTACH alt="Uninstalr.png"]282014[/ATTACH] One more issue is that if I right click on the apps name and then select Show Data, it shows something like the following, where the files and folders, and the registry data, both just show "(none)". I like that you have added the option to not select multiple apps, not just by left clicking. But other than that, it seems that it needs a lot of work. [/QUOTE]
