Hkey local machine software wow6432node microsoft windows currentversion uninstall

В случае, если в списке установленных программ в «Программы и компоненты» Windows у вас присутствуют программы, которые уже были удалены или в ситуации, когда вам нужно, чтобы какая-то программа не отображалась там, вы можете легко убрать её оттуда.

В этой инструкции два способа удалить программу из списка установленных в Windows 11, Windows 10 или предыдущих версиях системы — вручную в редакторе реестра и с помощью стороннего ПО.

Удаление пункта в списке установленных программ с помощью редактора реестра

Список установленных программ в панели управления Windows

Информация о том, какие программы были установлены на компьютере хранится в реестре Windows и мы можем её оттуда удалить. При этом сама программа (если она еще установлена) продолжит работать, более того, останется возможным и нормальное полное её удаление — с помощью файла деинсталляции в её папки. Шаги удаления будут следующими:

  1. Нажмите клавиши Win+R (Win — клавиша с эмблемой Windows), введите regedit и нажмите Enter.
  2. Перейдите к разделу реестра
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
  3. В этом разделе вы найдете подразделы: часть из них могут иметь имена программ, часть — идентификаторы, некоторые вообще не связаны со списком установленных программ. Выбрав любой раздел, в правой части окна редактора обратите внимание на наличие параметра «DisplayName» и его значение. Если параметр присутствует, а его значение соответствует имени программы, которую нужно удалить из списка, удалите весь раздел с этим параметром (правый клик по «Папке» — удалить).
    Удаление программы из списка установленных в редакторе реестра

  4. Если в указанном разделе ваша программа не нашлась, загляните в еще один раздел реестра, где также могут находиться отдельные программы из списка:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

В результате в списке установленных программ ненужный пункт будет удален (для этого потребуется закрыть и заново открыть этот список).

Как уже было отмечено, если программа всё еще находится на компьютере, она никуда не денется и продолжит запускаться и выполнять свои функции. А для её полного удаления в дальнейшем необходимо зайти в папку с программой и найти файл для удаления, обычно его имя начинается с unins (от слова uninstall — деинсталлировать).

Hide From Uninstall List

Бесплатная утилита Hide From Uninstall List создана специально для простого выполнения рассмотренной задачи: скрытия установленных программ как в Панели управления (Программы и компоненты) так и в Параметрах Windows 11/10 (пункт Установленные приложения). Более того, программа может скрыть и сами эти списки.

Главное окно Hide From Uninstall List

Подробная информация по загрузке и использованию утилиты — в отдельной инструкции.

CCleaner

В известной большинству программе CCleaner в разделе «Инструменты» — «Удаление программ» также присутствует возможность удалять программу из списка установленных.

Удаление программы из списка установленных в CCleaner

Для этого достаточно лишь выбрать программу и нажать кнопку «Удалить» вместо «Деинсталляция» — в результате будет удалена та же запись в реестре, которую в предыдущем способе мы удаляли вручную. Результат действия аналогичен.

Если что-то не сработало или остаются вопросы — задавайте в комментариях, решение должно найтись.

If you find that unwanted programs appear on the Programs and Features page even though you have removed/uninstalled them, or if you are unable to uninstall a specific program, then the program has likely been corrupted and it cannot be removed the conventional way.  

Using the Windows Registry, you can permanently uninstall programs and apps to ensure that they do not cause further problems. 

Table of Contents

In some cases, you might have uninstalled a program through Add/Remove Program, but it still appears in the Control Panel (Run >> appwiz.cpl) list. If you try to run the program, it will not work either. It is best to attempt to remove it using the methods discussed in this post if that is the case.

Program location in Windows Registry

Each program has either a 32-Bit or 64-Bit architecture on your Windows computer. These categories of programs and apps are stored separately, both on the volume and within the Windows Registry.

The 32-bit applications and programs are stored in the following locations:

System Volume: C:\Program Files (x86)
Windows Registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\

64-bit apps and programs are saved at the following locations:

System Volume: C:\Program Files
Windows Registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\

The CurrentVersion keys further hold sub-keys for different apps and programs. One of the sub-keys is named Uninstall, which contains information pertaining to removing the program.

The values within the Uninstall key can be used to remove the entire program permanently from your computer, which is how we shall be deleting any program(s) that may be causing trouble, or are no longer required.

Uninstall Windows Registry key

Before we proceed to the uninstallation process, let us learn how to determine which key belongs to which program, since most sub-keys in the Uninstall key are not named directly with the associated program’s name.

weird names

Naming convention for program keys

If you click on the key under Uninstall, you may find the following parameters (values) and the related information:

Note: These are common values. You may see come across some values that are not mentioned in the list below.

  • DisplayName
  • DisplayVersion
  • Publisher
  • VersionMinor
  • VersionMajor
  • Version
  • HelpLink
  • HelpTelephone
  • InstallDate
  • InstallLocation
  • InstallSource
  • URLInfoAbout
  • URLUpdateInfo
  • AuthorizedCDFPrefix
  • Comments
  • Contact
  • EstimatedSize
  • Language
  • ModifyPath
  • Readme
  • QuietUninstallString
  • UninstallString
  • SettingsIdentifier

The only parameters you should be interested in are DisplayName, QuietUninstallString, and UninstallString.

DisplayName is the identifier that will assist you to recognize to which program the key in the Windows Registry belongs. This means that you will need to click on each key before determining which key is the one that you wish to delete.

Note: Some Windows Registries may be named (correctly) after the associated program.

The values QuietUninstallString and UninstallString will be used in the process of uninstalling the program further down the article.

We can now begin to remove the program that you want to.

Uninstall/Remove programs using Windows Registry

You can uninstall the program through the Windows Registry if you are unable to do so through the program itself, or through the Programs and Features page in the Control Panel.

However, if you simply see a program on the Programs and Features page that is no longer installed but still visible, you can delete the associated Windows Registries to remove it from the list.

Since both processes involve manipulation of the Windows Registry, it is better to create a restore point before proceeding forward, in case the system is at risk of wrongful Registry manipulation.

Completely uninstall the program using Windows Registry

Since the names of the keys in the Windows Registry are ambiguous, it is better to create a backup of the Registry, and then proceed towards the uninstallation.

Here is how to do so:

  1. Launch the Registry Editor by typing in regedit in Run.
  2. Now paste the complete location of the Uninstall key in the address bar for quick navigation:
    • 32-Bit:
      Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    • 64-Bit:
      Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
  3. Now look for the key that you want to remove. Remember that you can find the name of the associated program in the DisplayName value.
  4. When found, right-click on the key and click Export from the context menu.
    context export

  5. In the pop-up window, select a location to save the backup Registry file, enter the name of your choice, and click Save.
    save export

    A local backup of the Windows Registry that you are about to remove has been made.

  6. Now, click on the associated key of the program that you want to remove, and then double-click on either of the values in the right-hand pane:
    • QuietUninstallString – For quietly removing the program (no prompts or confirmation)
    • UninstallString – To remove the program with complete due process
  7. In the Edit String popup, copy the Value Data.
    copy

  8. Now launch the Command Prompt with administrative privileges, paste the copied content and press Enter to run it.
    cmd run

  9. If you selected UninstallString in step 6, then you may encounter some confirmation dialog boxes or an uninstall/reinstallation wizard. Follow through with them to remove the program.
  10. Now confirm if the correct program has been removed through the Programs and Features page in the Control Panel. If so, you can continue to delete the manual backup of the Registry as well. If not, you may want to restore the Registry file by double-clicking it. This will bring back the deleted Windows Registry as it was before.

You will now have successfully removed the program and all of its Registries as well.

Remove programs using Windows Registry

Note: This process does not uninstall the program, but simply removes it from the list under the Programs and Features page in the Control Panel.

Perform the following steps to remove a program that no longer works on your Windows computer, but is still visible in the Programs and Features list.

  1. Open the Registry Editor by typing in regedit in Run, and then paste either of the following locations in the address bar for quick navigation:
    • 32-Bit:
      Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    • 64-Bit:
      Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
  2. Now determine the key associated with the program that you wish to remove from the list by checking the DisplayName value.
  3. Once determined, right-click the key and then click Delete from the context menu.
    delete 1

  4. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
    yes delete

  5. You can now confirm that the program is no longer visible in the Programs and Features page (Run >> appwiz.cpl).

Verdict

You can run either the UninstallString‘s or QuiteUninstallString‘s value in the Command Prompt when you want to uninstall a program. QuietUninstallString will simply remove the program without confirming with you.

Moreover, we would advise that you adopt these methods when no other method to remove a program has worked since manually working with the Windows Registries can turn out to be deadly for your operating system.

This tutorial will show you how to remove an app’s uninstall entry from both «Settings > Apps > Installed Apps» and «Control Panel > Programs and Features» for your account or all users in Windows 11 and Windows 10.

If you have an invalid, duplicate, or just want to remove an uninstall entry for an app in Settings > Apps > Installed Apps and Control Panel > Programs and Features, then you can easily remove it.

Reference:

You must be signed in as an administrator to remove uninstall entries for apps for all users.

This will only apply to uninstall entries for desktop apps/programs.

This does not apply to Microsoft Store apps.

EXAMPLE: Uninstall entries for apps in «Settings > Apps > Installed Apps» and «Control Panel > Programs and Features»

Settings_Installed_apps_entries.png

Control_Panel_Programs_and_Features_uninstall_entries.png

Here’s How:

1 Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe).

2 Navigate to the key below you want in the left pane of Registry Editor. (see screenshot below step 3)

(Only current user)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

AND​

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

OR​

(All users)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

AND​

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

3 Under the Uninstall key, right click on the subkey for the app you want, and click/tap on Delete. (see screenshot below)

You can look at the DisplayName string value (REG_SZ) of a selected subkey to know which app the subkey is for when the subkey’s name is not obvious for the app’s name.

Remove_uninstall_entries-1.png

4 Click/tap on Yes to confirm. (see screenshot below)

Remove_uninstall_entries-2.png

5 When finished removing uninstall entries for apps, you can close Registry Editor.

That’s it,
Shawn Brink

Hello siddav, and welcome.

It would be normal for an app that gets fully uninstalled to not have an uninstall entry afterwards.

Did you have some other issue for this?

Thanks, Brink.
Maybe I should have started a new thread. I’ve uninstalled Calibre and rebooted but the Open With context menu still has entries for three Calibre programs (with generic icons). That’s what I want to get rid of.

Ah, ok.

«Open with» would be a separate issue. You should be able to use the method in the tutorial below to clear the «Open with» context menu for the affected file extensions.

Hello, and welcome.

Usually, if the app is listed in «Installed apps» it’ll be in the registry.

You could try reinstalling and uninstalling the app again to see if it may clear this round.

Hi Shawn,
Do you know what this registry key is?
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\UserData\UninstallTimes
I uninstalled some Acer bloatware and PowerToys, but these programs are still present in this key that I want to delete, there are no more packages left in C:\ProgramData. I have attached the complete registry key.
Thanks
Frank

Hello Frank,

It appears to be some type of uninstalled apps history. It should be safe to delete if wanted, but might create a restore point first to be extra safe.

Hello Frank,

It appears to be some type of uninstalled apps history. It should be safe to delete if wanted, but might create a restore point first to be extra safe.

Will do. maybe this will stop the discrepancy in PowerShell, the simple syntax: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Select Name still shows all the uninstalled apps, but the full package name listing is correct, no longer shows these uninstalled apps.
Thanks Shawn.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

It’s safe to delete an Uninstall key if you no longer want that app to appear in the uninstall list.

В этой заметке мы покажем, как скрыть любую программу из списка установленных в панели управления Windows. Инструкция применима ко всем версиям ОС, включая Windows 10 и 11.

Содержание:

  • Как скрыть конкретную программу из списка программ Windows?
  • Скрываем все установленные программы от пользователя

Как скрыть конкретную программу из списка программ Windows?

Допустим, вы хотите скрыть запись об установленном на компьютере графическом редакторе Gimp. Откройте Панель управления, перейдите в раздел Programs and Features /Программы и компоненты (для быстрого перехода выполните команду
appwiz.cpl
) и проверьте, что запись Gimp 2.10.38 присутствует в списке установленных программ.

список установленных программ в панели управления Windows

Также информация об установленной программе есть в современной панели Settings (Settings -> Apps -> Installed Apps, URI команда для быстрого перехода
ms-settings:appsfeatures
).

Список установленных порграмм в панели в новой Параметры Windows

Windows хранит список установленных программ в следующих ветках реестра:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall – установленные программы для всех пользователей;
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall – в этой ветке находятся записи о x86 приложениях на x64 Windows;
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall – приложения, установленный только для текущего пользователя.

В нашем примере GIMP установлен для всех пользователей, и информация о пакете хранится в ветке
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\GIMP-2_is1
.

Чтобы скрыть приложение в панели управления, нужно внести одно из двух изменений в его ветку реестра:

  • Можно создать новый параметр DWORD с именем SystemComponent и значением 1
  • Или переименовать параметр DisplayName в QuietDisplayName

параметр реестра SystemComponent позволяет скрыть установленную программу windows

Перейдите к списку установленных программ и обновите его (клавиша F5). Запись о программе GIMP должна исчезнуть из списка.

программа скрыта из панели управления windows

Скрытое приложение также не будет отображаться в списке установленных программ в панели Параметры (Settings).

Программа также скрывается в списке установленных программ, который возвращает пакетный менеджер winget:

winget list| Select-String "GIMP"

Чтобы показать программу в списке установленных, нужно удалить параметр
SystemComponent
(или изменить значение на
0
) или переименовать параметр QuietDisplayName обратно в
DisplayName
.

Таким образом, чтобы скрыть определенную программу (например, архиватор 7-zip), можно воспользоваться следующей командой:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\7-zip" /v SystemComponent /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Или можно скрыть указанную программу, переименовав параметр реестра с помощью PowerShell:

Rename-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\7-zip" -Name DisplayName -NewName QuietDisplayName -passthru

команда для скрытия установленной программы от пользователей

Скрываем все установленные программы от пользователя

Вы можете полностью скрыть из панели управления пользователей все установленные программы.

Запустите редактор локальной GPO (gpedit.msc) и перейдите в раздел Конфигурация пользователя –> Административные шаблоны –> Панель управления –> Программы (User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Control Panel –> Program) и включите политику Скрыть страницу программы и компоненты (Hide “Programs and Features” page).

Политика Скрыть страницу программы и компоненты

Затем скройте раздел установленных программ в панели Settings. Для этого перейдите в раздел User Configuration -> Administrator Templates -> Control Panel. Включите политику Settings Page Visibility. В качестве значения укажите:
hide:appsfeatures

Групповая политика - скрыть страницу установленных программ в панели Параметры Windowswindows

Обновите настройки групповых политик с помощью команды
gpupdate /force
и проверьте, что окно «Программы и компоненты» в Панели управления недоступно пользователю. В панели управления при этом будет отображаться запись:

Системный администратор отключил компонент Программы и компоненты

.

Системный администратора отключил компонент Программы и компоненты

Вторая политика скрывает страницу Installed Apps в панели Settings.

Также можно запретить показывать список установленных программам Windows в панели управления Windows с помощью команд:
REG add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Programs" /v NoProgramsAndFeatures /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v SettingsPageVisibility /t REG_SZ /d "hide:appsfeatures" /f
