[QUOTE="jv16, post: 1051760, member: 98343"] Thank you for confirming that the BSOD issue is now fixed! Fun fact: The problem was caused by Uninstalr terminating a system process. As an engineer, I think it's wild that it is possible for a normal application just to call a Windows API, asking it to terminate a process, and this can cause Windows to display BSOD. If there are system processes that Windows doesn't want users to terminate, how about just not allowing the API call to terminate that? Anyway. Perhaps two other people have also requested the ability to uninstall apps via the context menu. Sounds like something I need to see if I can add to the program! It will be an optional feature, of course. I want to keep the default settings of the app such that it doesn't modify the system in any way. [/QUOTE]
