Start 11 (v2) uninstall.exe throws an error upon startup

January 24, 2025 6:02 AM from

Hi,

I need to uninstall start11 from a device, but the uninstall.exe in the program's folder throws following error:

Why is that, and how can it be resolved?

If it can not be resolved, is there any way to turn off Start 11 (v2) and turn back to the normal Windows Explorer taskbar? So that I can just delete the program's folder?

Try using the Control Panel > Programs & Features, to remove Start11. If this doesn't work, try the Purge.bat as mentioned here.

Just don't reinstall it.

Thanks for the help.

Right after I made the post here, I remembered Win11 still had the OG control panel, and I was able to remove it from there. It just was a throw-off when the uninstall.exe didn't run by itself at all.
