Button "Uninstall" / "change" / "fix" not appearing not not in the programs of the devices &

I can't uninstall all programs, like the option to do so fails to appear in the programs and features. Some programs I want to uninstall are not their own program to uninstall from the list programs, so this alternative is not feasible. I tried the system restore, but the restore points are not old enough (despite clicking on 'See the updates more than 3 days')

Some icons next to some programs are also missing and appear as generic icons.

Hello gemmalou86,

I would like to download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility. Click here for a link to download the utility.
You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

If this does not help, you might want to look at using a 3rd party uninstall utility such as Revo.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

    I love the develop module, but I'm doing something wrong in the library

    In the library, under 'Catalogue, all the photographs', all my photos appear showing the stars, cropping, and development. The problem is that these changes are not for the photos on my hard drive. When I re-import them in Lr, the changes are not there. My workflow is to do nothing after development or export them to the original with a new file name destination. Anyway, it is that they get a new file name without change of development when they are imported into Lr.  Please help (PC user)

    And others have explained, Lightroom does not apply the changes to the file. All changes are stored in the catalog, and then applied to the image when it is displayed in Lightroom. If you want a copy of the image with any changes so that you can share with others or send it to a laboratory to print, then you must export a copy of this image by using the export dialog box in Lightroom.

    Features of Lightroom as well by its design. The images that you import are always left in their original condition, unmodified.

    Hello

    Sounds like hardware and you cannot resolve hardware with the software. Check with the system
    Manufacturer of support, their books online, the diagnosis and ask in their forums (if
    There are). Or check with a real computer store (one who does on its own in-store service
    This brand and model of laptop).

    Remember that you can not resolve hardware with the software.

    Troubleshooting you can try:

    Note the use of Win Key + X and Win Key + W (to go on the Control Panel, Run and parameters

    and the splash screen.

    Follow these steps to remove corruption and missing/damaged file system repair or replacement.

  • WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER SYNC ALWAYS SAYS "ALREADY ON THE DEVICE" WHEN HE IS NOT ON THE DEVICE.

    I went on wmp to sync mp3 files on my Creative Zen MP3, but when I try and synchronize it always already says "on the currency." But when I check my mp3 songs are not on the device. If anyone has a solution please tell me.

    Hi QALY,

    Formatting the player Creative Zen MP3 should help you solve the problem of synchronization.

    Note: Formatting the player Creative Zen MP3 will delete all the data on the MP3 player. Make sure to save your songs before formatting the MP3 player.

    After formatting the MP3 Player try to check if you can sync without any problems.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  • Password MS Surface has been lost/changed and now can not access the device.

    My wife recently got a tablet of Ms Surface.  Initially, she set his password and was able to use the device without problem.  However, after 2 days of used light, the device does not recognize the password and don't let her diary.  How can solve us this problem so that it can reset his password and access?

    Mario - Sorry for my delay in responding, but I need to retrieve the response that we had found.

    Surface of my wife would not accept his password and if it could not connect to use most of the suggested solutions to 'reset' a password.  We had to do a complete Factory reset by following the following steps (that I found on the Web, and successful):

    The only way to start a complete RESET without signing in Windows is to stop start Windows handle once or twice to get "Automatic Windows repair" to start, as follows:

    1. turn off the device in now the power button for 6-10 seconds

    2. press the power button to wake it up.

    3. once the Surface Logo appears, wait for the indirect "dots" approach to appear and then press and hold the power button for 6-10 seconds to turn the unit off again.

    4. Repeat step 2 & 3 until the Surface Logo appears with the words in saying "prepare auto repair.

    5 recovery Mode turns on.

    6. in the BITLOCKER screen, press "skip this drive".

    7. press on 'Advanced Options '.

    8. press on "Troubleshoot".

    9. press "reset".

    10 tap... "Just remove my files.

    11 reset process will take about 20-30 minutes - and all DATA WILL BE REMOVED FROM the DEVICE.

    When the "reset" process is complete, the OOBE/Start Up Wizard must begin and the customer can complete the installation of their Surface device.

    Please note that we have used this process because
    (1) we could not connect you to the Surface unit AND
    (2) because we had no personal data to save.  If you have any personal data that you don't want to lose, you will need to find another way to reset the Surface.

    I hope this helps.  He has worked for our situation and the Surface continued to operate perfectly since.

  • Driver for wireless Xbox 360 on Windows 7 (64) not appearing is not in the device after the installation manager.

    is there nothing in the folder 'Microsoft Xbox 360' accessories in the start menu.

    After installing 'Xbox 360 accessories software 1.2 64-bit for Windows 7", restart takes about 5 minutes which is unusually long.
    I bought a (generic) wireless receiver and went to the Device Manager to update the driver and the only thing that appears in the category 'Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class' is a 2006 (XBOX 360 Controller For Windows) driver that does not work. " There's no such thing as the newer drivers (already installed). What I'm missing here?
    Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    I got it to work. If pilots do not appear after installation, and you begin to notice the empty folders in your Start menu, it's because of permissions.  If you bought your pc used, ensure at their level of access to your account transfer system, you are the system administrator is not enough.
