A left field request

Question

I am trying to assist a friend with a unusual request. She would like to remove all of the games from her windows 8.1 laptop. I cannot identify where they are and how to uninstall them. Most of the games are from Wild Tangent but there is also the standard Solitaire and Mahjong. Help please.

Hi JayFoleyZH,

1. You can delete standard microsoft games from Turn Windows features on or off. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/delete-a-game

2. To delete third party games, use Programs and features. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/uninstall-change-program

3. To delete third party games that are not registered or installed (portable games), you must manually browse for files and folders and delete them.

Hello,

The Windows Desktop Perfmon and Diagnostic tools forum is to discuss performance monitor (perfmon), resource monitor (resmon), and task manager, focusing on HOW-TO, Errors/Problems, and usage scenarios.

As the question is off topic here, I am moving it to the Where is the Forum... forum.
