How to uninstall a program using Command Prompt

If programs are no longer used or additional space is required, you may need to delete one or more of them from your computer. The most traditional method for uninstalling software is through the Windows Control Panel. However, users may also remove programs via Command Prompt, the command-line interpreter included with every version of Windows since XP.

To learn how to use the Windows Command Prompt to manually uninstall programs from your computer, follow the steps below.

Press the Windows key and type Command Prompt.

In the search results on the left, use the arrow keys to highlight the Command Prompt program.

On the right side of the window, click Run as administrator.

Click the Yes button on the prompt that appears.

Tip

You can also right-click the Command Prompt program in the search results and select Run as administrator in the pop-up menu.

In an elevated Command Prompt, type wmic and press Enter.

You'll see a line that reads wmic:root/cli>.

Type product get name at the prompt, and press Enter.

After a few moments, you'll see a list of every command-prompt accessible program installed on your computer. Locate the program you'd like to remove.

Use the following syntax to uninstall the program, replacing the asterisks with the proper name from the list generated above:

Syntax

Product where name="******" call uninstall

Example

Product where name="Adobe PDF Reader" call uninstall

When prompted, press the Y key to confirm and press Enter.

After a few seconds, you will see Method execution successful, confirming that the program was removed.

The best free automation tools for Windows

When your job involves working on a computer, repetitive actions can be the bane of your existence. They're not only tedious, but also (even worse) time consuming. Fortunately, in case you're forced to execute the exact same actions over and over again, you can create macros (scripts) that will automatically do them for you. Let's say, for example, that every day you have to open your downloads folder; to do this, you would normally have to click on 'Start', then on 'Documents' and from there finally click on 'Downloads'. Using a macro, you could simply run a certain file from your desktop or (even better) use a key combination, and the download folder will be automatically opened. (Of course, this was very simplistic, but you can use macro scripts to perform much more complicated tasks.) Here you will find a list with some of the best automation tools on the market. These applications won't only help you improve your productivity with macr...

How to Deal With Your Drivers Issues

For those of you who are really new to this, drivers are software that make the connection between your hardware (motherboard, graphic cards, sound card, printer, etc) and your operating system. Each hardware component has its own driver (which works on specific Windows versions), and if you don't have the correct driver installed, the respective device will either run incorrectly or not run at all. So, after you've reinstalled Windows (or installed it for the first time), you are going to need drivers to make your computer fully operational. The first and easiest solution is to install them is by using the CDs that came along with your hardware. If that's no longer possible because the respective CD is no longer available or the drivers on it aren't compatible with your Windows version, you will have to improvise . My favorite solution in this situation is to use a combination of two programs: 3DP Net and 3DP Chip. Both of them are completely free and require ...
