AutoCAD 2021 still showing in Windows after Uninstall

[agustinWYULP]

Hello,

I would like to know if anyone has had this issue. I recently updated AutoCAD 2021 to AutoCAD 2022.

I uninstalled AutoCAD 2021 in programs and features in Windows but it is still appearing in the list of apps in settings and can't seem to remove it from this list. I have also performed an uninstallation using the Autodesk Uninstall app, and AutoCAD 2021 still shows up in the list. After doing this I checked programs and features and it does not show up there but it still shows up in the apps list in settings. It does not let me uninstall from settings because the button is greyed out and wont let me modify it either. I have updated Windows and firmware to the latest version but it still appears in the apps list. I am guessing this could be a bug or an issue with Windows but I am not sure. Does anyone else know what else I can do to remove this from the apps list in settings? I have included a screenshot. Please let me know if anyone has any information on this. Thank you!

Did you restart your PC yet? Do so now if not, it is important.

Hello,

Yes I have restarted every time I performed any update or uninstallation and it still shows up.

I was able to fix this issue. To fix you need to delete the display name in regedit. I recommend to back up the folder first. go to: 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall - find the folder of the uninstalled app and delete the display name. Reboot and it should be gone when you check it again. Thank you for your help!
