Troubleshooting Guide: Uninstalling RoundedTB on Windows 11 When It Doesn’t Appear in Installed Apps
Many Windows 11 users enjoy customizing their desktops with tools like RoundedTB, a popular application that alters the appearance of the taskbar by rounding its corners. However, some users encounter a perplexing issue: despite RoundedTB functioning correctly—launching on startup and appearing in the taskbar—the application does not show up in the Windows Settings under “Apps” > “Installed apps.” This can make uninstallation challenging, especially if users prefer a clean removal without resorting to hacks or reinstallation of the OS.
In this guide, we will explore why this might happen and present step-by-step solutions to effectively uninstall RoundedTB in a safe and straightforward manner.
Understanding the Issue
Why doesn’t RoundedTB appear in the installed apps list?
RoundedTB likely uses different installation mechanisms, such as portable deployment or it may be installed via an alternative method like a script or a third-party packager. These installation types sometimes do not register fully in the Windows Store or the “Apps” list, making standard uninstallation methods ineffective.
Step 1: Verify the Application’s Location and Running Processes
Before proceeding with removal, ensure you know where RoundedTB is installed:
-
Check for Running Processes:
Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and look for any processes related to RoundedTB. If found, end the task. -
Identify the Installation Folder:
If you launched RoundedTB manually, right-click its icon in the taskbar or system tray and check for options like “Open file location” or remember the directory where it was installed or copied.
Step 2: Manually Remove RoundedTB Files
If no uninstaller is available or the app isn’t listed:
- Locate the Application Files:
-
Navigate to the installation directory or the folder where RoundedTB resides.
-
Delete the Application Folder:
- Carefully delete the RoundedTB folder.
-
Ensure that you close the application before deleting.
-
Remove Startup Entry (if applicable):
- Use Task Manager’s Startup tab or the Settings > Apps > Startup section to disable RoundedTB from launching at startup.
Step 3: Remove Windows Registry Entries (Advanced)
Some applications create registry entries to facilitate startup or configuration; removing these can help ensure complete uninstallation.
