I can't figure out a way to check multiple items at once.
Selecting a bunch and clicking a checkbox or hitting space or a potential context menu doesn't work.
Neither does the usual next best solution with alternating space and down keys.

When I try to use the vertical scrollbar on the right hand side, it resizes the window.

Hello, under what license is the program distributed?

When selecting multiple packages to uninstall then the process stops at e.g. 2 of 7 de-installations. Changing the selection often fixes this. This might be an issue of the order of de-installation. If the not working de-installation would be skipped and processing continued would be helpful.

So for example 7/01/2014 is considered later than 6/01/2015

Virus has been detected when trying to run Total Uninstaller.

In InstalledItemsViewModel.cs, LoadUninstallableItems(), GetProducts may occasionally return empty records. In your select statement you query "ins.InstallDate" and for empty record it blows up with ArgumentNullException which eventually surfaces as unhandled (and very obscure) ParseXamlException.

Solution is very simple: insert " .Where(ins => ins.ProductName != null) "
after GetProducts and before Select part of the Linq expression.

Hey, thanks for the tool, it became essential for me. Do you mind if I put in Chocolatey?

I guess it should just download the exe using the link from the readme.

did run Total-Uninstaller.exe, select app, finish uninstalling process. App still listed in Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features.
Looks like it is not uninstalling using original install pack: short-cut icons, some original folders still presented on the disk.
Running Microsoft Uninstall will clean desktop/disk fine.
Anything missing in running Total-Uninstaller?
For the wish list: add app's icons to the dialog list

More info: next time running installation got the report "previous version of this product <..> has been detected".
some stuff still left in the system after Total-Uninstaller run.

Environment

1. OS version: Windows 10 64 bits
2. Total-Uninstaller EXE version: 1.0.0.0

Steps

1. Download exe from github, Download zero install exe
2. Unlock TotalUninstaller.exe from file properties, General tab
3. Run TotalUninstaller.exe as administrator from context menu

Expected behaviour

• Application should start regularly and show up its window

Actual behaviour

• It seems like application starts, as the wait spinning cursors shows up briefly, for maybe a second. But then no window shows up, and no TotalUninstaller.exe process is listed in task manager.
• Checked logs in %APPDATA%/TotalUninstaller, and all the tries I did report the same. Here below the full log. Short message translation follows at the end.

I'm trying to select (put mark) item by using Space, Enter, Ctrl-Enter and other frequently used keys, but nothing happens. The selection is only possible by clicking a mouse, which is tedious and not very efficient.

In case it is accidentaly run as non-administrator - it crashes without showing any message, leaving users in deep confusion.

You'll want to add the manifest and embed it in the program. Project + Add New Item, select "Application Manifest File". Change the element to:

The user gets the UAC prompt when they start the program.

I tick a component (any component, tried with Windows Phone SDK and other VS bloatware), click "Uninstall" - "OK" confirm - nothing happens.

Windows 8, VS 2013 community edition

I didn't explicitly choose to run the program as administrator, but when it launched I did select "Yes" at the UAC prompt. Now it's just sitting here:

Do I need to right click > run as administrator, or is it just taking a really long time? There's no way to tell.

Simply by adding "Costura" NuGet package to the project you can nicely package it as a single executable without any dependent assemblies. I just tried it and it looks and works nicely.
