Mac6737 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Not that I'm planning on uninstalling, but: Windows10 Control Panel has a feature for Uninstalling/Repairing a program. MSFS doesn't show up in the list. (I know where it is on my hard drive.) Not entirely sure what the "Repair" function does, but it once worked wonders for me in P3D when I couldn't load any airport between Las Vegas and Tokyo.

JSkorna Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Because it's under Apps and Features. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac6737 Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Because it's under Apps and Features. Thanks. Right. How silly of me to not know that it wasn't a "program." BTW, I see that "FSX Acceleration" appears in both menus. And the Apps and Features menu does not include the repair function. Is there a way to "repair" FS2020? (Perish the thought.)

Select the application you want to repair, and select the “Advanced optionsâ€. As for the difference, Apps and Features is the new way, and will likely completely replace the old control panel.

plainsman Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Apps are the result of the I-phone market. Apple convinced everyone that programs were scary cumbersome things, but apps were just friendly little tools. Who knew, I had been using apps since the mid 1980s with Computer Associates SuperCalc and Easywriter "apps", and on an 80286 with a gigantic 24MB HD! Yes, that is correct, my first HD was 24MB!!

I take it you mean click on an app to select. After you click, there are only Then there are only 2 choices offered: "Modify" and "Uninstall."

Yesterday, I apparently clicked on apps that don't have "advanced options," as explained in the link you sent. FSX, for instance, does not. Go figure.

FSX, for instance, does not. Go figure. Mac6737 The difference is whether the program came from the Microsoft Store, such as MSFS, or is a more traditional Windows application, like FSX. All apps from the MS Store will have those advanced options, while older programs are dependent on what the developer provides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurikane Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 In those cases i use to rightclick on the exefile and choose create shortcut.. then just drag it to the desktop or somewhere where i want it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 In those cases i use to rightclick on the exefile and choose create shortcut.. then just drag it to the desktop or somewhere where i want it? The question was about finding the sim in the control panel to uninstall or repair, not the Start menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
