How to uninstall Epic Games while it's running.
Solved/Closedbazfile Posted messages 58430 Registration date Status Modérateur Last intervention -
Hello,
I'm writing to you because I need help. I installed the Epic Games launcher and I would like to uninstall it, but it's impossible. Each time it tells me that Epic Games is running even though I have no windows open. I would like to know if someone can help me to successfully uninstall it.

Hello,
Closed topic too many FRST analysis requests that end up getting mixed up, if the first two solutions don't work, please create your own topic for FRST analyses.
Here are three solutions.
First solution.
Go to Task Manager by pressing Ctrl Shift Esc simultaneously and close all Epic Games processes by selecting them and clicking on End Task, see also this page.
Second solution.
If the first method doesn't work, uninstall Epic Games using Revo Uninstaller in advanced scan mode.
Revo Uninstaller tutorial to read carefully.



Accept the uninstallation of the program you wish to uninstall and if there is an error message saying that the uninstallation is impossible, close the error message and continue the procedure.

Check "Advanced Scan" then click on "Scan".

Click on "Select All" then on "Delete" if a second list appears do the same and once everything is deleted click on "Finish," a reboot may be required.
Third solution.
If none of the solutions work and only in this case, do the following:
Download FRST once downloaded save it to the desktop then right-click on FRST and choose Run as administrator you will have this:
Click on Analyze
Note, wait for the messages stating that the analysis is complete to display.

At the end of the analysis, you will have two text files on the desktop FRST and Addition.

Then send the FRST and ADDITION reports to CJOINT see THIS TUTORIAL then provide the two links generated by Cjoint in your response.

Problem solved, a big thank you!
https://pjjoint.malekal.com/files.php?id=20200515_y8i5y13g5k7
Thanks for the WINDOWS 10 update, which I find strange since my computer is supposed to do it automatically.
For the Windows 10 update: this version upgrade has been online since last November, and a new version upgrade is expected at the end of this month with many new features, it will be version 2004; when it becomes available, you will be able to install it via this page by clicking on Update now.
See also THIS PAGE
For more information, you can also do a Google search for Windows 10 2004.
Have a nice day.
I have successfully installed FRST and I ran the analysis, but since I'm not good with computers, I don't know how to link the reports.
