Windows Tips – Microsoft Support - Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed

Once in a while we find ourselves with some issues that we have no idea how to solve.
Again, once in a while we find very simple but also very useful tools, that really make the difference.

Sometimes you get that annoying error above, and we get stuck not being able to uninstall a software (normally a msi).

So…thinking on this, Microsoft created a very very simple tool that searches the machine for issues and try to correct them.

To use it? Just download, double-click, select if you’re experiencing issues to install or uninstall an application and the tool does the rest.

What it fixes

  • Corrupted registry keys for x64 operating systems
  • Corrupted registry keys that control the update data
  • Problems that prevent new programs from being installed, uninstalled or updated
  • Problems that block you from uninstalling a program through Programs and Features

Compatibility

  • Windows 7
  • Windows 8
  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 10
