well like most times I need to do something quickly I tend to make it into a tool I (and maybe others) could/will use again..

tried to debug some programs and wanted a way to access, "for real", the uninstall section,
yeah yeah you've got 3rd parties such as ccleaner..

the problem is Windows 11 hides everything under explorer and pin-pointing the window using process explorer,
isn't really useful since the sections are "created".

here are most ways of calling the uninstall and remove programs.

calling good old control manually from start run, then navigating to the section manually.

how about that,
i was trying to install the printer using USB cable,
but it was unable to register scan task in the printer!

after 10 uninstalls in some variations,
where i don't understand why the UI has missing sections,
and trying to run the exe for registring the computer in the printer manually,
nothing worked,

the uninstall was deep, and included also removing all HP related folders using the search programs everything.

WinPython as a single, preferred python client,
in a "single user as admin", Windows 11 machine.

this will make everything to be launched as admin
