[QUOTE="jv16, post: 1051095, member: 98343"] I agree that it would make sense to allow uninstallation of the currently selected app without having to check the checkbox next to it. I think the logical way to do this is to add Uninstall option to the Right Click menu, and if no items are checked, then the currently selected item is the one that is being uninstalled. I'm a simple engineer. I like simple solutions. Trying to automagically detect whether closing any apps or reboot is required would add too much complexity to the system, and just introduce cases when the app might be unable to remove something. I prefer the current method: user can choose to not do the app killing or reboot, but if they choose that, there is a warning text on screen saying that the uninstallation quality might suffer from that. Thank you for your feedback! [/QUOTE]
