Hello. After installation of this pack, impossible to uninstall it. Each start od the system i have “uxlaunch.exe” wchich appears and impossible to uninstall it. Can somebody help me? Thx Yanik
Go to start/computer/c drive/program files(x86) /make sure it’s the right ux folder/file then delete it. Return to c drive/windows/sysWOW64 delete ux folder/file. return to windows folder delete uxlaunch.exe.
This should do it. If it says program is in use close the icon in the taskbar and the aura icon on hidden icons. I only deleted ux files that were obviously related to the offending program. Check date if there is a ux file or folder older than the offending installation it’s probably best to leave it. I am typing the steps from memory so you might find errors in my instructions but just check in possible places and folders as you go. I hope it works. I suggest you create a system restore point beforehand.
