unable to uninstall inventor because inventor.exe is still running

[Anonymous]

I had some problems with starting up Inventor pro 2020 so I wanted to re-install Inventor.

But when I try to uninstall Inventor it says it can`t be uninstalled because inventor.exe is still running.

Restarting my PC does not work.

Have you tried Control, Alt, Del and going to the task manager tab?  To see if Inventor is running there then end task?

What OS are you running?

Windows 10 x64 -16GB Ram
Intel i7-6700 @ 3.41ghz
nVidia GTS 250 - 1 GB
Inventor Pro 2020

Try using the Autodesk uninstall tool to see if that gives you what you are trying to do.

For some reason this still doesn`t work it keeps giving me the same message that inventor.exe is still running.

also rebooting seems not to help

What Autodesk products do you have installed?

Have you tried the Microsoft Fix It tool ... making sure everything / anything old is removed?

Hi Stan,

Please reboot the machine and start Task Manager. Do you see Inventor.exe running? Are you running Inventor NASTRAN or other Add-Ins?

Many thanks!

Try the Microsoft Fixit tool that @Cadmanto  was mentioning.

Do you see Inventor on the list?
