Have you tried to uninstall from programs and features?

Open Control Panel and click programs and features. In the window programs and features of scrolling to the bottom of the list of applications until you come to Windows Essentials 2012. Click it to start the removal process.  Uninstall or repair a window is now open. Click on the windows to remove one or more essential programs. Another window opens now that ask you what you want to uninstall. You should see Windows Messenger in this list, then click your mouse in the box to the left of the option of Windows Messenger. This will place a check mark in this box. Then click on the button uninstall. Windows Messenger must uninstall. You do the same for all the other apps essential Windows you don't want no-Movie maker etc.

  • How to remove Windows Defender from Vista?

    Anyone know how to remove Windows Defender? It is not on the list of programs that can be uninstalled. When I try to remove it from the tree, I get a message that only a "TrustedInstaller" can remove it.

    It's been nothing but trouble I got my new PC in August. I spent in Avast and MalwareBytes, but I can't stop the system to get scans in tenacious Defender. I wanted to get rid of it because it will not update install. It keeps telling me that there are updates available, but the progress bar comes in with a small piece of the execution and the stalls.

    Updates Windows continues to tell me it is another Defender update available and also stops at install.

    Looks like Microsoft could do a better job of coordinating its products. I'm ready to throw the new computer and become a ludites.

    Help!

    I uninstall Norton before that I installed Avast. I went to 'Services' and 'arrested' Defender. Then I went to 'Properties' and 'Disabled' Defender. This should at least stop notifications. You can't repeat to you, I got it.

    Hello RichardShiel,

    Windows mail is installed with the Windows Vista operating system, and therefore cannot be uninstalled. Surprisingly enough, it cannot even be disabled via the Windows features turn on or off the option programs and features.

    However, if you have the version of Vista Ultimate (Please note that I edited this post like initially, I said Pro and Ultimate; it was incorrect, my apologies) you should be able to disable through Group Policy.

    1. press on the Windows and R key to bring up the menu run.

    2. in the Run menu type: gpedit.msc

    3. If you do not have gpedit on your version of Vista, you receive an error message. If you have gpedit on your machine to the Group Policy Editor is now displayed.

    4. once the Group Policy Editor is open look in the left pane and click the option for the Computer Configuration. A list will now be expanded.

    5. then add to the list under administrative templates.

    6 look down this list and develop, the Windows components option.

    7. look in the right pane and scroll down until you come to Windows Mail.

    8. double-click on that.

    9. you should now see two options. (a) turn off the function of communities and the b) disable the Windows Mail application.

    10. double-click on the option turn off Windows Mail to open the Properties window.

    11. in the Properties window, click the active radio button, and then click the OK button.

    12 Finally exit the properties and the Group Policy Editor.

    13. the next time you start your machine that Windows Mail should be disabled.

    As I said this should work if you have the Group Policy Editor.

  • How to remove Windows PowerShell 2.0, while all my update lists are lost?

    Hello

    I'm terriblely sorry that I am a Chinese, as China MS can not solve the problem, I ask you for help.

    All my lists update are lost, this means while I opened the update of lists, it's empty, but all my updates are installed on the computer.

    If I can't remove Windows PowerShell, I can not test compatibility of Vista so I can't use the upgrade to repair the operating system.

    Thank you, if you can help, I know how to use CMD to delete PowerShell 1.0 but it cannot be used for 2.0 and msicuu2 cannot remove updates, if using the MS means do not work, I hope you can tell me how to use software from other producers to remove Windows PowerShell 2.0.

    Thanks again.

    Unless you format the drive HARD and then do a clean install of Vista & then get SP2 installed to switch to Win7, your best bet would be a fresh install of Win7.

    In other words, the presence of Windows PowerShell 2.0 isn't your problem - a system infected with hijackware is your problem.

  • How to remove windows Get 10?

    I don't want to get windows 10 thing on my pc.

    No matter how many times I uninstall this update, it comes back.

    can someone please ask microsoft just do updates do not force users to get things, what they don't want.

    Windows 10 is just as useless as windows 8, please someone ask microsoft to stop us asking to get windows 10.

    Thank you.

    I advised my clients to doing what I've been dreading for years - disable automatic update of Windows.

    The problem is compounded by a continual road by Microsoft to install Windows 10 on your computer with your permission.  They keep re - install KB3035583 (this is the activation code) on your computer, even if uninstall you it.  The result is a huge download and then constantly nags without a way obvious to say no.

    So I advised my clients to stop WU.  Once a month the 2nd Tuesday, they will have an email to advise me to turn on the WU, then to reject specific updates as KB3035583.  After update, they will turn the automatic updates again.

    If you see the Windows flag in the bottom right of your screen, the chances are pretty high that your computer already has the Win10 file.  Here are the instructions on how to get rid of it:

    It is likely Win10 has already downloaded on your PC.  If you are using windows 7 and have not installed win10 and do not, here is a procedure that I've used several times and it works.

    1. Remove Windows Update Auto - never tick

    2. Task Manager, processes, find and put an end to GWX.exe

    3. Control Panel, uninstall a program, see installed updates, WAIT a long time

    4. Now, look for KB3035583, uninstall it

    5. Restart the PC

    6. Disk Cleanup, step 2 for system - it takes some time

    7. You should find a file that anywhere from 4 to 8 gigabytes.  It's the downloaded Win10 file. Put a check mark on this point.

    8. OK, delete files

    9. Restart

    10. The start-up will take a while as he finished cleaning
