Windows 10 Uninstall in "Apps & features" = Uninstall through other Win tools?

pstein · Jul 22, 2019

When I read Win10 tutorials about uninstallation of previously installed programs then they always refer to the dialog "Apps & features" to uninstall them.

I wonder whether it is possible to uninstall the same programs as well with the well known (old) Win7 uninstaller tools like Reve Uninstaller, HiBit Uninstaller, NirSoft UninstallView,.....

Are the Uninstall Feature exactly the same?

In other words: Can I use the old Uninstaller tools as well in Win10 or does deinstallation of an App in Win10 require more management than under old Win7?

Thank you
Peter

Would they work most likely, would I recommend them, no. They often cause more issues that resolve and other people will tell you the same thing.

Going through Apps & Features, using WMI or Uninstall-Package from Powershell are the preferred removal methods.
