Scheduled tasks not captured / removed (and reg key(s) missed)?

Installing Brave Browser (https://brave.com/download/)

Scheduled tasks are created during install for checking for updates etc. These don't seem to be captured or removed during the forced uninstall process after a traced install. As far as I can tell, there shouldn't be an issue with tracing these as the install trace doesn't end until the browser is closed after the installer launches it (so presumably ample time to capture all of the install).

There are also one or two registry entries left behind including: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\BraveUpdate.exe (and subkeys / values)

Comparing against Revo Uninstaller Pro portable, Revo seems to successfully remove the scheduled tasks and registry entries although in my experience Revo has been quite destructive in what it captures / removes which is why I've been looking to switch to this tool.
