It provides advanced features to clean your system and manage installed programs. This guide will walk you through the installation, configuration, and key features of Revo Uninstaller. 1. Installation Process Follow these steps to install Revo Uninstaller on your device: Download the installer: Visit the official Revo Uninstaller website and download the free or pro version. Run the installer: Once the download is complete, double-click the installer file to start the installation process. Choose installation options: Follow the on-screen instructions to accept the license agreement, choose the installation folder, and customize other settings. Complete installation: After installation, click ‘Finish’ to launch Revo Uninstaller. 2. First-Time Setup and Customization Once installed, follow these steps to configure Revo Uninstaller for optimal use: Launch Revo Uninstaller: Open the program from your desktop or Start menu. Enable or disable startup programs: Go to ‘Tools’ > ‘Autorun Manager’ to manage programs that start when Windows boots. Disable unnecessary startup programs to improve boot speed. Set scanning mode: In the ‘Options’ menu, go to ‘Uninstaller’ and choose a scanning mode (Safe, Moderate, or Advanced) based on how thoroughly you want Revo to search for leftover files and registry entries after uninstalling programs. Enable Hunter Mode: Hunter Mode allows you to target a program directly from your desktop. Go to ‘View’ and select ‘Hunter Mode’. This mode adds a crosshair icon to your desktop, which you can drag over any program window or icon to uninstall or manage it. Set system restore point creation: In the ‘Options’ menu, enable ‘Create a System Restore Point before uninstalling’ to ensure you can roll back any changes made during the uninstallation process. 3. Key Features and How to Use Them Revo Uninstaller provides a range of tools for safely and thoroughly removing software. Here’s how to use some of its key features: Uninstall Programs: To uninstall a program, open Revo Uninstaller and select the program you want to remove from the list of installed software. Click ‘Uninstall’ and follow the prompts to first run the program's default uninstaller. Afterward, Revo will scan for leftover files and registry entries, which you can review and delete. Forced Uninstall: For programs that don’t appear in the standard list or cannot be removed using the default uninstaller, use ‘Forced Uninstall’. This feature can clean up stubborn remnants left behind by partially uninstalled software. Quick/Multiple Uninstall (Pro): In the Pro version, you can use ‘Quick Uninstall’ to remove multiple programs simultaneously without the need for user intervention after the default uninstaller runs. Hunter Mode: Hunter Mode lets you uninstall or manage programs by targeting them directly on your desktop. Enable Hunter Mode from the ‘View’ menu and drag the crosshair icon over the program’s window or icon to uninstall, stop, or remove it from startup. System Cleanup Tools: Go to the ‘Tools’ menu and explore additional system cleanup tools like ‘Junk Files Cleaner’ to delete unnecessary files and ‘Browser Cleaner’ to remove browsing data from popular web browsers. Windows Apps and Browser Extensions: Revo can also manage and uninstall built-in Windows apps and browser extensions. Go to ‘Tools’ > ‘Windows Apps’ to uninstall or disable default Windows programs or to ‘Browser Extensions’ to manage extensions from browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Backup Manager: Revo Uninstaller automatically creates backups of deleted files and registry entries. You can access these backups by going to ‘Tools’ > ‘Backup Manager’, allowing you to restore files if needed. 4. Customizing Revo Uninstaller Settings Revo Uninstaller can be personalized to suit your preferences. Here’s how to customize its settings: Change program layout: Go to ‘View’ and select from different layout views, such as ‘List View’ or ‘Icon View’, to display installed programs according to your preference. Set language preferences: In the ‘Options’ menu, select ‘General’ and choose your preferred language from the dropdown list. Adjust scan depth: Go to ‘Options’ > ‘Uninstaller’ and choose the scanning depth (Safe, Moderate, or Advanced) depending on how thorough you want the leftover file and registry search to be after a program uninstall. Configure auto-updates (Pro): If you're using the Pro version, you can enable automatic updates by going to ‘Options’ > ‘General’ and checking ‘Automatically check for updates’. 5.
