    Appreciate your help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    From Windows 8 Microsoft embeds Flash Player in the browser.  This includes Windows Server 2012.  For this reason, Microsoft locks the permissions on files to prevent users to erase files.  Microsoft does not provide a standalone installer of Flash Player for IE/Edge on these platforms and all updates from Microsoft via Windows Update.  By force to unlock the file and forcing the removal of the file you probably made your system unable to re - install Flash Player because there is no separate standalone installer for Flash Player on Windows Server 2012.  If you do not need Flash Player on this system, which is not a problem.  But if you need Flash Player on this system, you can, or can be not, be able to reinstall it.

    Until you find the resolution, take a look at these uninstall 3rd party programs. They are free.
    I use Revo Uninstaller myself once or twice, but not because I could not find the uninstall/change options, but because I couldn't uninstall using programs and features.

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Have you taken up in Add/Remove programs and then chose to remove again since removing?  Sometimes if you do this it will tell you that he is has nothing to remove or has already been deleted and you want to remove the item from the list and if you say yes it does.  Does not work all the time in this way, but there's a lot of time.

  • Try to uninstall CS5.5 Master Collection, but programs do not appear in the standard location of Windows programs and features

    Uninstalls CS5.5 after deactivation in order to save space for the CC, I have problems doing so.  I am on Windows 7 64 bit and installed from the Master Collection drives on my desktop and laptop - no one has all of the Master Collection uninstall programs appearing in the standard location, which is the only recommended uninstall Adobe, method.

  • How uninstall "Program of the Inbox" Chrome/Windows 7. It is not on programs and features.

    I installed Chrome, with it came "Inbox" and took over. Cannot uninstall because is not in programs and features. What should do?

    Thanks for the help to anyone who responds to this request.

    Mr. Bruce Hagen, thank you very much for your quick response to my question. While trying to figure out what was the problem, I found with the troubleshooter that Chrome is an incompatible application. The page got does not respond, the loadfing stopped and got the following announcement (the following pages have become unresponsive. You can wait to make them sensitive or kill them).

    I've been to the situation, and for the second time uninstalled GChrome feedup and voila! with it went Inboix.com, now I using Google.com for Windows.

    I say annoying annother thing about Google, and supports the Chinese or Korean language browsers and can not get rid of him.

    Still, I am very grateful for your help. I did what I did because I was irritated with chrome, but I loved the program.

    Thank YOU 1 million. jjgonzalez

  • Impossible to uninstall unwanted program

    I reinstall programs on my computer after reinstalling Windows 7 due to viruses that have been on it.  So I'm being very careful what I download and check programs and features to ensure clean unwanted that piggyback on those programs, I want as quickly as possible.

    I have a program that I can't delete because windows 7 does not see when I search my cptr by name; its not listed in my downloads, programs, or wherever I can find.  I uninstalled it immediately after discovering it after a reboot, but that did not remove the pop-up window that appears when restarting and opening of various other programs.  It's a registry/PC cleaner called koox system optimizer and a web search indicates that this is a dangerous program and to remove it immediately.  but I can't uninstall that I can't locate.  I can't find it in safe mode either.  Where can I find a different name for it looking this way.  This time of its opening in my taskbar and yet nowhere go to be found among the list of installed programs.

    Any suggestions?   I don't want to just erase again (this is my 3rd time) and beginning of everywhere (I'm almost done!)

    Thank you.

    You can uninstall Revo, now that your system seems to be clean but if you decide to keep it, I posted a link on how to use it below... Visit windows update to ensure that your system is updated and fully patched with the high priority and critical updates. BTW, this riflescope you see in Revo is the "Hunter" mode, which is used to find and remove stubborn files.
