General

Steps to reproduce

it all started with the option to update on powertoys window itself, not on microsoft sotre

✔️ Expected Behavior

No response

❌ Actual Behavior

Alright so, i opened the powertoys window and saw that it had an update and decided to update it. Wich didnt run again, had to terminate from the task manager, so i decided to uninstall it to be able to run again after reinstalling.

I usually use iobit uninstaller and used that to uninstalled powertoys. Heres when the nightmare started.

Powertoys is still installed, cannot find it anywhere, not in apps on settings, not in controlpanel. its supposedly installed on Windows apps folder wich i dont have acess.

I tried using a string on run to uninstall but doesnt work, i tried using ReVo uninstaller wich on datalogs found powertoys but its unable to uninstall or delete. it shows all the registry keys and with the select all & delete, its shows deleting but doesnt do anything at all, because after that if i search for powertoys, its still there. as before.

ive tried download the github installer but says powertoys is still installed and i cant do anything while that still is installed.

I used ReVo log path on powertoys and started deleting registrys by myself, but all those just came back after a reboot, not to mention there were almost 1000 registrys, so no i didnt delete it all.

Ive checked microsoft store, when i search for powertoys it says its installed when i check my installed apps its not there nor does it find anything through search

Im sorry for my english but this is driving me nuts!

Fixed it!! Used the software "Everything" to be able to find lost files that even ReVo uninstaller couldnt find or uninstall. Removed and reinstalled Powertoys!"
