Uninstall driver

Open jhagege opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

Hi,

I would like to know how to uninstall the driver. I successfully installed it but now the Boot Camp control panel cannot be deactivated whatever.

There is no uninstall option in the Boot Camp services in "Add or Remove programs".

I'm on Windows 10 Pro...

Thanks a lot for your help!!

I'm not too much into this, but I think I might have found a solution!

  1. Go to Control Panel and find the name of the BootCamp drivers (in my case, as my system language is set to German, it's "Boot Camp-Treiber")
  2. Open Command Promt as an administrator
  3. Type in: product where name="Boot Camp-Treiber" call uninstall (put in the name your drivers have)
  4. You will be prompted to confirm your selection so press: y
  5. In my case Windows Installer briefly popped up, giving me an error message, however the BootCamp Drivers are deleted in Control Panel > Programs and in the system tray!

Hope that helps!

@Ohaaa : late comment, but you may have missed to mention, that step 2B) is to start WMIC?

> wmic

At which commandline you run your step 3)

this was how my WMIC session looks like

wmic:root\cli>product where name="Boot Camp Services" call uninstall
Execute (\\MYCOMPUTER\ROOT\CIMV2:Win32_Product.IdentifyingNumber="{FA2B2C2A-EA41-495A-9308-60726125D562}",Name="Boot Camp Services",Version="5.1.5769")->Uninstall() (Y/N/?)? Y
Method execution successful.
Out Parameters:
instance of __PARAMETERS
{
        ReturnValue = 1603;
};

wmic:root\cli>exit

but thx for the hint anyway :) Hope the old bootcamp services are gone after reboot (=PA=)

Note - for English use

product where name="Boot Camp Service" call uninstall

the example above had an s in Services

also, note it takes a few mins to run

May I know how to download the "product"? Because when I ran it, this error occur:

'product' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

EDIT: I just read the spex66 comment. So basically just type wmic on the cmd to start the session.

Thanks everyone!
