I’ve been trying to get rid of the AMD Gaming Evolved app from my computer but I’m not sure what the correct steps are. The app seems to be causing some performance issues and I no longer use it. I know that it should be possible to uninstall it through the Control Panel, but when I tried, I encountered some errors. Is there a specific process I should follow to completely remove the application without causing any system issues?

During my previous attempt to uninstall the AMD Gaming Evolved application, I noticed that some components seem to linger even after the uninstallation process. If there are any remaining files or registry entries that need to be removed manually, I would appreciate guidance on that as well. Knowing which files and where they are located would be very helpful in ensuring that I do not delete something important to the system’s functionality.

Additionally, I’ve heard that sometimes applications like these have services that start with Windows and I’m not sure how to disable or remove them. Guidance on how to ensure that all AMD Gaming Evolved services are stopped and no longer run on startup would be essential for me. This way, I can prevent any unnecessary processes from using up system resources.

Removing the AMD Gaming Evolved app can be a bit tricky if it’s not uninstalling properly through the Control Panel. You might want to try using a third-party uninstaller that’s designed to remove all traces of an application. I’ve used Revo Uninstaller in the past to deal with stubborn programs. It can help you perform a more thorough uninstall by scanning for leftover files and registry entries that the standard uninstall process might have missed.

To address the concerns about leftover files and registry entries, after you’ve run the uninstaller, it would normally prompt you to remove any remaining items. However, if you need to do it manually, you must be careful not to delete system files. The leftover files are often found in the ‘Program Files’ folder and in the ‘AppData’ folder within your user directory. Registry entries might be located under ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE’ or ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER’ in the Registry Editor, but I’d advise against editing the registry unless you’re very confident.

Regarding disabling services, you can use the ‘System Configuration’ tool (commonly executed with the ‘msconfig’ command) or the ‘Services’ application (accessible by running ‘services.msc’ command). In these tools, look for any services related to AMD or the Gaming Evolved app and disable them. Be sure to only disable services you recognize as related to the app to avoid impacting your system’s functionality. Have you checked the ‘Startup’ tab in Task Manager to see if there are any related applications set to launch with Windows?
