my dear lokoike
let me try to make myself clear
you helped me about a similar question few weeks ago.now, for private subjects i have to formate this machine.after having formatted and made all of the updatings of the windows I donwload ccleaner again and run it.and the hottfixx unistallers are not delete. they only disappeared when I scan for issues in registry.
of the first time it seems it was not me like this
it seems that the hotfixx unnistalers disappeared soon after run the program and not after scan for registry issues.but I can be wrong
I wait to have left my clearer subject
I think I understand now, but let me restate what you said, just to make sure I have it right.
You formatted your computer, downloaded Windows Updates, and then ran CCleaner to remove the Hotfix uninstallers, but they were still on your system, correct?
But then after you removed the related registry issues, the updates no longer showed up in Add or Remove Programs. But you think there is also a possibility that the registry issues may not have been what caused them to no longer show up in the list.
So, you aren't sure whether it was the removal of registry issues, or the removal of Hotfix uninstallers checkbox, that fully removed your uninstallers, right? Well, if that is what you are curious about, I don't know.
I know that checking the Hotfix uninstaller box will remove the uninstallers (the actual files), but Windows may still register that they are there, even thought they aren't. If it does, run an Issues scan and remove the items that pertain to Hotfix uninstallers. That is the only for sure way that you can make Windows realize they aren't there anymore.
Hope I understood you correctly, and I apologize if I goofed something up!
