    Can't uninstall Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode


    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on a Dell Inspiron 1545, Intel Pentium dual-core CPU, T4300.

    I am trying to uninstall Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode but I'm unable to.

    When I tried to uninstall from Control Panel / Programs, I could only find Windows XP Mode listed. Although I uninstalled this, I can still find it in the All Programs list.

    As for Windows Virtual PC, I couldn't find it either under Control Panel nor through Revo.

    Is there a way I can manually uninstall these?

    Thanks

    Hello Simon, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Even though you uninstalled XP-Mode from "Programs and Features", the "Windows Virtual PC" Windows Update will still include a entry for it in the Start Menu All Programs area by default. It would be there even if you did not install XP-Mode.

    Since "Windows Virtual PC" is considered a Windows Update and not a program, you must uninstall the Windows Update below to do so.
