<h1 dir="auto">Steps to reproduce</h1>
<p dir="auto">Just prior to uninstall I uninstalled several old and new Microsoft programs including "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard", "Microsoft Office Suite", and others.  System bahavior was normal after these and I rebooted.  Then...</p>
<p dir="auto">uninstall via Control Panel<br>
"/" Programs<br>
"/" Programs and Features<br>
"/" Uninstall or change a program<br>
"-&gt;" PowerToys (Preview)<br>
"-&gt;" uninstall</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Expected behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">uninstall successful</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Actual behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">First attempt:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>three exceptions thrown resulting in dialog w/ execution addresses<br>
(sorry I did not capture these)</li>
<li>continuing process, uninstall process crashed with no visible clue except associated windows all closed.</li>
<li>PowerToys (Preview) still listed</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Second attempt:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>uninstall process again crashed with no visible clue except associated windows all closed.</li>
<li>Ran Task Manager and sorted processes according to CPU usage.  There seemed to be about 5% extra overhead not seen before uninstall including system interrupts, churning of a few other normally quieter software... I have not idea if these are related to the uninstall or not.</li>
</ol>

<p dir="auto">We've seen multiple reports of 'uninstalling' fails and when we dive in, it is due to when a user does it in the old control panel.</p>
