Remove GPO installed software from machine

Posted on by Andy

Here a simple step to remove GPO instaled software from your machine and make it reapply the GPO:

  • Remove software from Control Panel -> Software
  • Find and the clear the software UID from
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Group Policy\AppMgmt
  • OR delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Group Policy completely
  • open terminal/cmd as administrator and execute
    gpupdate /force
  • and last, reboot the desktop

After a reboot the GPO should have been (re)applied and the software been installed.
