Question

Cannot uninstall an app that Smart App Control Flagged.

Hello,

Today when I was opening an app that I downloaded a few days ago (Without any issues), I get a Smart App Control pop up. So I tried to uninstall that, and I am getting the same message again.

Basically, I cannot uninstall an app that Smart App Control Flagged.

I did do some research on the web to fix that. But I've heard if I do that, I will not be able to turn it back on. So I didn't try that because I do want it on.

I even tried to follow a video to use Regedit, but it is already set to 1. But I still do change anything there, because I don't want to ruin it.

How do I fix this so that I can still have t 20261021_224225

he Smart App Control on and I can uninstall the app?

Note: I wish that I could get a screenshot of the error message, but that didn't allow me to do that.

Hi,

I would recommend trying to perform an uninstallation using Revo Uninstaller. It is likely that Windows Security blocked the installer; however, with Revo, you can uninstall the program even if the standard uninstaller is disabled or not working. Select the "scan" option—it will check for remaining files and registry entries—then select everything found, delete it, and proceed.

You should only do this if the Q&A Assist procedure did not work.

Please let me know whether or not it was successful. In any case, Smart App Control has already blocked the file, which is what prevented it from working.

Thanks

I haven't tried to download the Revo Installer Yet. I did do what was mentioned in the Q & A. But the quick scan (Which I can only do) turned out like this:
