We install tons of programs on our Windows computers every day, and it is only after a few days, we realize, some program is of no use. Uninstalling a Windows program is not simple by the way. It used to simple until a few years ago when people didn’t realize the ease of uninstalling apps on a smartphone or tablet. Yes, relativity matters. When it comes to uninstalling programs, Windows has its own utility to make uninstalling programs as hassle-free as possible. But sometimes, we dream of having an even easier uninstalling method, and if you are one looking for such a tool, you will have to rely on third-party uninstallers, which are better than Windows’ built-in uninstaller.

When it comes to third-party uninstallers, they offer a plethora of additional functionalities, which eventually makes uninstalling Windows programs a lot more easier. Depending upon the additional utilities and functionalities, most third-party uninstallers offer, they can either be paid or free.

All the uninstalling tools, which are mentioned above are, in some way or the other better than the default uninstaller, which comes with Windows 10, or other older versions of Windows. So there are no chances of regret.

Bonus one

ZSoft Uninstaller

If you haven’t liked any of the uninstallers mentioned above, here is a bonus one. ZSoft Uninstaller, is the one but is a little difficult to work with. But if your task is limited only to uninstalling programs, Zsoft Uninstaller should just nail it. Just like Ashampoo Uninstaller, ZSoft Uninstaller also analyzes a program at the time of installation to understand the changes it has made, while the process was on. Things are not presented in an easy way like the other uninstallers, and that is my only complaint.

ZSoft Uninstaller also comes with the hidden feature to sort programs according to the installation date and name, but it can be a difficult task for you to find the option. Yes, kind of hidden. Due to lack of optimizations, the software is a little slow, as well. ZSoft is also an uninstaller and thus, kept it in the list, just to give you an option to try it out, lest it delivers better performance in your case. ZSoft Uninstaller is free just like the others, so it will not cost you if you give it a try if you have Windows XP other old versions Windows system.
