I right-click an item in the list of Programs & Features but no context

Hi Churin,

Check in "C:\Program Files" and inside of the program's folder to see of it has a uninstall file there. If it does, you can click on it to uninstall it.

If this doesn't help, then let us know the name of the program and perhaps someone else that had that program will know.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Unable to uninstall items in Programs & Features

I have exact the same problem in Programs & Features. in the subtab installed updates, the remove button does appear & there is an context menu when right click.

I think the cause of this is a corrupt uninstall of Zone Alarm (this was executed via Programs & Features): while uninstalling zonealarm the uninstallprogram didn't respond anymore, though ZA was correctly uninstalled. So it stayed open. (note: the uninstallprocess was a *.temp process, it could not be ended)
