How To Uninstall NCH Suite

alnuwer · May 2, 2018

How do I uninstall NCH Suite? I tried the Uninstall Apps in Windows (Settings>Apps) and (Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Programs & Features) but it doesn't show up in either of those tools. I also tried a 3rd party uninstaller (Revo Uninstaller), and it doesn't show up there either.

The App itself shows up in my Programs (x86) Directory as well as in the list of programs under my Start Menu. It has an Uninstall button in the Start Menu, but it just takes me back to Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Programs & Features (where it doesn't show up).

What files are listed under the two shown folders?

Have a read at https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/whats-problem-nch-software-remove/ and scroll down about a 1/4 of the way.

Then I would call them and see their support can help you.

Have you tried reinstalling the program and then see if it will add the uninstall option to control panel?

alnuwer · May 3, 2018

In the meantime, I got rid of it! For your information, I had one of their Video Editors installed (NCH Suite installed with it). When I removed the video editor, the suite went away also.
Thanks for your reply!
