[Uninstallation error: "Application upgrade is in progress"]

Same problem here. Kaspersky Total Security.

Add/Remove programs indicates 2 versions installed:

20.0.14.1085

21.1.15.500

Both throw the same error when trying to uninstall.

The Application can’t be launched (just does nothing).  Secure Connection runs and has to be killed with task manager

I’ve already previous been through a heap of troubleshooting and rolling back to restore points etc after installing Kaspersky  bricked computer.

 

Seems to just be a fundamentally broken app.

The product remover ver 1.0.1513 reached 100% on the status bar and now just sits there… so can’t even be uninstalled.  

 

Short of re-installing windows is there any way I can at least remove this since it doesn’t function?
