- I just tried Uninstalr and I liked it a lot, I will keep an eye out if these bugs are corrected, for the moment I will be disconnected, since I will format once again the Laptop (Bug 5)
- First of all I don't speak much English, in case there is any spelling mistake.
- I am using a HP Pavilion Laptop, this laptop has 2 hard disks, a 128 GB SSD (Local Disk C: ) and a 1 TB HDD (Partition D: )
- Because the "C:" disk does not have much space, all the normal applications I install them on "D:" and the Microsoft Store applications I also move them to "D:" from the settings.
- I just formatted the Laptop and tried to remove some applications that come by default on the Laptop.
- This laptop has a Local Account and not a MS Account.
- I am using the setup version of Uninstalr.
- Enable the option to "Show the main application installation paths in the list".
- Uninstalr is installed on the "D:" partition.

Now, these are the bugs I have encountered:
Bug 1 - When enabling the "Use standard Windows frame" option, you lose the "hamburger" button to be able to access the Uninstalr settings.
Bug 2 - When installing a Microsoft Store application (Telegram) and moving it to disk "D:" from Windows settings, Uninstalr does not show the correct installation path, it shows it in "Local disk C:" (Not corrected with "Fix Info").
Bug 3 - When uninstalling either a Normal application (Dropbox) or also a Microsoft Store application (Telegram) and finish restarting the Laptop, it shows a Windows warning like this: "Access violation at address 0119526A in module 'Uninstalr.exe'. Read of address 00000000", if you click "OK", the window will multiply indefinitely, it can only be closed from the task manager.
Bug 4 - When uninstalling a normal application (Dropbox) that has the option to start when turning on the laptop in "Settings, Applications, Startup", an error occurs where the option in "Settings, Applications, Startup" becomes "Opaque" and cannot be removed in any way, it can only be enabled if the normal application (Dropbox) is installed again.
It also continues to show the application in "Applications, Installed Applications" and if you try to uninstall from here shows an error message "Windows can not find the file", you can remove it if you try to uninstall from control panel, with this it stops showing in "Applications, Installed Applications", but still shows the error where the option in "Settings, Applications, Startup" is still "Opaque".
Bug 5 (McAfee from Factory on Laptop)
The following is a very specific problem, as I said I just formatted the HP Laptop, this laptop by default comes with "McAfee" and "McAfee WebAdvisor", I tried to install Kaspersky, but it showed me that it conflicts with McAfee (I could uninstall McAfee from the Kaspersky installer), I uninstalled it with Uninstalr, it uninstalled, but it still shows (McAfee and McAfee WebAdvisor) in "Applications, Installed Applications", if you try to uninstall from here it will show a box that says "Navigation to the web page was cancelled", it does not allow to uninstall any of the two McAfee applications, in control panel it happens the same with McAfee it shows the box "The navigation to the web page was cancelled", and does not allow to uninstall it, but in control panel it allows us to remove WebAdvisor from McAfee, after this I tried to uninstall McAfee from the Kaspersky installer, but it showed the same, the box "Navigation to the web page was canceled", basically McAfee was blocked and does not allow me to install Kaspersky
A recommendation in specific cases like Bug 5 is not to use Uninstalr to uninstall applications that come from the factory on a Laptop, in these cases it is better to uninstall from the configuration, note: the Laptop came with more factory applications mostly games, these games I could uninstall them perfectly with Uninstalr, but they still showed the bug 3 and 4.
If you try to uninstall a factory application like McAfee with Uninstalr, it may crash and will not allow another Antivirus to be installed.
That's all from me, I'll keep an eye out to see if bugs 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be fixed; for bug 5 I'm not sure if it has a solution. Now I will reformat the laptop.
