If the Lunar Client won't uninstall on Windows 11, you can try using the Windows PowerShell to remove the application. This method involves using PowerShell commands to delete the Lunar Client's installation directory and registry entries.
Note: Be cautious when using PowerShell commands if Lunar Client won't uninstall, as incorrect execution can cause system instability or even crashes. Make sure to back up your registry and files before proceeding.
- Open PowerShell as an administrator: Right-click on the Start button and select 'Windows PowerShell (Admin)' or 'Windows Terminal (Admin)'.
- Stop the Lunar Client service: Run the command Stop-Service -Name LunarClient -Force to stop the service.
- Delete the Lunar Client installation directory: Run the command Remove-Item -Path "C:\Program Files\Lunar Client" -Recurse -Force (replace the path with the actual installation directory). This will delete the Lunar Client's installation directory.
- Delete registry entries: Run the command Remove-Item -Path "HKCU:\Software\LunarClient" -Recurse -Force to delete the registry entries associated with the Lunar Client. Then, run the command Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\LunarClient" -Recurse -Force to delete the remaining registry entries.
- Verify removal: Run the command Get-ChildItem -Path "HKCU:\Software" -Recurse -Name and Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE" -Recurse -Name to verify that the Lunar Client's registry entries have been removed.
After executing these commands, you should be able to uninstall the Lunar Client normally. If you encounter any issues or errors, you may need to use additional PowerShell commands to resolve the problem.
