Uninstalling Booking - on Windows 10

On Windows 10 - Has anyone successfully uninstalled Booking from their computer? - The icon appears in my start menu and when I right-click to uninstall, I'm directed to modify/uninstall a program. That's great, except that Booking isn't listed there, so there's no way to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance. Pierre.
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 66.0.3359.181

Go to Program Files, or Program Files (x86)
Find the program folder, open it, and check if there is a file that starts with unin, like uninstall.exe
Run it as an administrator.
Hello,
Do you have an HP computer? The issue doesn't come from Windows but from HP.
Just go to HP Support Assistant and in settings (gear icon in the bottom left). Uncheck everything, including the "recommended" ones. I don't know which one promotes ads, but it worked for me.
:)
Hello,
Booking.com is neither an application nor a program and therefore cannot be uninstalled as such; it is just a link launched by one of the many HP bloatwares, still to be determined which one.
Taken in isolation, you just need to delete the contents of the HP folder, usually found under Program Data and hidden (you need to show hidden folders), and there will be nothing left to launch.
I go further by considering that none of these bloatwares are useful (including Support Assistant and Diagnostics, which can always be downloaded from HP if they are, in fact, of any use, and/or the installation executables can be backed up somewhere other than the system partition to be executed on demand).
So I have:
-from the control panel and applications, uninstalled everything from HP except the audio control center.
-in services.msc, disabled all HP services
-on the disk, manually deleted all HP folders except the one containing the Network Driver at the root of C:
As an option and unrelated to the above, you can also delete the SAV folder at the root of C: and the HP recovery partition (not the Windows one); the consequence will be that you will no longer be able to perform a factory reset (but what is the point of it after months of use?) and you must ensure you have a Windows reinstallation key and have downloaded the drivers from HP that you back up outside the system partition.
