John Grey Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 In the "ccleaner" list of installed programs I find NVidia GEforce. When I click on it, on the right, in the list of options, "Uninstall" appears in blue as do rename and delete (repair remains grey). As I do not want this on my computer, I click on Uninstall.... but nothing happens at all, no uninstalling starts no pop up, and: NO other options are offered.... How do I go about uninstalling this? Thank you! JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 31, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2016 have you tried doing it the ol' fashioned way, via Control Panel, Programs and Features. CC should initiate the same uninstall process as the Control Panel approach. if that also fails to uninstall NVidia, there should also be an Uninstall entry in the NVidia folder in Start, All Programs that you can try. and as a last resort, I'm pretty sure I've used in the past a 'removal tool' you can get off the NVidia website. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators hazelnut Posted November 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2016 I have noticed sometimes in the CCleaner uninstall list that the first item I highlight and click uninstall for seems dead. I play about about with the clicking and then it works. Are you sure about uninstalling Nvidea GeForce?

G5pott Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Ccleaner finds some strange chinese, arab, greek programs in the uninstall section. Does anyone have a clue what those might be ? "Revo uninstaller" does not find them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted November 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 1, 2016 They belong to Windows Live (language files) and can be uninstalled. If you go into Control Panel you will see the info a bit more about it.

Nope.... none of this worked. I ended up downloadung an "update", which uninstalls everthing and then I chose just to install the two drivers I actually do need, and stopped automatic updates....

Yes, I am sure, I do not like companies collecting data from my computer and installing whatever they see fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
