I have been using Revo uninstaller for several years now and I have yet to find anything it will not un-install, including MS Live everything.

The entry merely greys out and then comes right back to blue and sits there, unimpressed. The search for truth continues. I am using Windows 7 it looks different than the pictures in your article ,and I could not uninstall Windows live messenger using control panel. I followed the suggestion to click on Windows Essential, and then Uninstall button, but it does not work.
The page does not move. Some other times, when I click on uninstall, a window would appear saying that I should stop uninstalling one program before starting another… no matter how much I try, it does not work. I am not good with technology and would not risk getting software that may make things worse. Windows live mail is a horror.

Please can you help me. Hi I know this thread is old, but wanted to let you know that the free version of revo Uninstaller did get rid of windows live essentials. Thanks for the tip. Thanks for the help. This is really useful because since getting Windows 7 operating system the default was set for the computer to go to sleep after 30 minutes. So the problem comes when you are trying to install something large like Windows Live Essentials components. The computer may shut down somewhere on the install and cause a system startup problem.
I hate windows they always put lots of crap in that you never wanted that slows down your pc. Messenger automatically fights to start up when i use hotmail even. I am a manual guy and dont like machines making decisions for me. I removed it al but it is still on my computer, it said succesfully removed, and its still here. Now I cant find that windows essentials because I removed it, does anyone has any tips? I hate windows live…. It is taking control of what i should install…if i choose to install only the messenger application it doesnt let me do it.
They want me to install all those applications that i dont need. I cant seem to remove versions still present. It does not list all files.
I still cannot find all messenger and windows live files. So im trying to solve this whole day. And then i started installation. I dont know what can i do. I tryed cleaning my registry, tryed removing WLM tracks or some clues, but everytime same happens. What can i do? Thank you so much for this. I spent a good hour looking by myself for a way to uninstall that darn thing.
Works fine on Windows 7!!! In the Control Panel clicking in Windows Live did not bring up the selection menu and only the safe mode of Revo did the trick. So what I did was:. Copy the value into the Clipboard 6. Paste the UninstallString value into the Run dialog. This worked for various Windows Live components such as Writer.
I hate Messenger and have been hopping since it somehow got on my machine. Hi Thanks so much for that, but can I uninstall all of the windows live stuff, or is it needed for my computer to run? I dont think i want stuff like windows live sync, and windows live uploader etc, can I just uninstall it all?

Many thanks … finally rid of the annoyance … it kept popping uop on a notebook i bought …thanks again.

Thanks in advance. After Revo does the standard uninstall it then finds that 2, registry items still remain…! After deleting those it finds that files still remain mine were mainly in programs x I bit the bullet on both counts and selected all entries for deletion.
I also dumped some bloatware from my new Asus laptop using the fourth Revo option. Noticed that it boots much quicker as a minor bonus. I used Revo Uninstaller. Unlike Glynnux, I used the advanced setting and found Registry entries to delete. I recommend it highly. Microsoft tried to get tricky in hiding windows live messenger! Who uses messenger anyway?
