There is a workaround to know whether a program has been installed in your PC or not. Just follow this link to know more with souce code an example.

Get all Installed software in CSV

I have the same problem, occurred after a f-upped uninstall of a incompatible driver+software of PCTV card. It was not listed, but there was an uninstaller.exe -> the driver was only intended for vista -> i thought it would be also compatible then for W7, my mistake :/ . After viewing to uninstall other junk, many programs disappeared in 'program & features'.

Hi I found this post when I had the same problem with programs missing

I looked in ccleaner and found that the programs were showing in ccleaners uninstall facility, hopefully this will work for you

Same problem since yesterday, cc cleaner only lists about 1/3 programs that are missing from add/remove panel. Running few scans everything seem to be ok. Looking for solution...

I'm having the same problem it's really annoying as I want to uninstall vlc and reinstall it and this is the only thing holding me up. all the remaining programs still visible in the add/remove tool seem to be Microsoft or windows programs. I can't believe there still is no solution to this. wow

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to post that the issue still exists. My uninstall list took a big hit several months ago and I've never been able to figure it out. Even other programs (I tried Revo Uninstaller) show the same reduced list of programs. I am currently needing to uninstall and re-install Quicken, but there is no uninstall available anywhere on my machine. If a solution is ever found, I'd love to know what it is. Maybe I just need a new computer.

In the end I had to reinstall Windows but Im still puzzled what was a cause of that and have failed so far to find solution to that problem
