MyUninstaller is a free, lightweight, and portable alternative utility to the standard Windows Windows “Add/Remove Programs” applet. Developed by NirSofer of NirSoft, a developer renowned for creating tiny, standalone system utilities.
Unlike full-featured modern uninstallers, it does not perform deep scans to remove leftover registry keys or residual system files. Instead, it aims to serve as a fast, information-dense dashboard for managing your installed programs. Key Features
Extended Software Data: Displays hidden details missing from Windows, such as the product version, company name, exact install folder, and the hidden uninstall string command line.
No Installation Required: Runs entirely as a portable executable (.exe), making it perfect to carry on a USB drive for PC troubleshooting.
Entry Deletion: Allows you to safely delete a software entry from the list without actually running the uninstaller, which is useful for cleaning up ghost entries left behind by broken programs.
Exportable Lists: Generates comprehensive reports of all installed software on your machine and exports them into TXT or HTML formats. Pros and Cons
Pros: Extremely small file size, completely free, requires no setup, and loads faster than standard Windows menus.
Cons: It is very basic. It relies entirely on the software’s native uninstaller. If a program’s built-in uninstaller is broken, MyUninstaller cannot force-remove it or sweep for leftover junk. Modern Alternatives
