Uninstaller Showdown: Geek Uninstaller vs IOBit and Revo Uninstaller on Windows 10

When it comes to removing unwanted programs from your computer, a reliable uninstaller is essential. In this test, we pitted three popular uninstallers against each other - Geek Uninstaller, IOBit Uninstaller, and Revo Uninstaller - to see how they fare in recognizing installed programs on Windows 10.

First, let's take a look at the results of our first test: how many installed programs are recognized by these three uninstaller programs. We installed three random programs - Tomahawk, Telegram Desktop, and SlimBrowser - and ran uninstall operations using each of the three removal programs.

Geek Uninstaller proved to be particularly effective in this test, listing all three programs we had installed in its interface. On the other hand, IOBit did not pick up some programs, such as Boxcryptor or Apple Software Update. This is a serious issue, especially on 64-bit systems where it can limit program functionality.

Revo Uninstaller, which is available in both free and paid versions, also had limitations. The free version does not offer full 64-bit compatibility, meaning that it won't list 64-bit programs in its interface.

In conclusion, when it comes to recognizing installed programs on Windows 10, Geek Uninstaller seems to be the most effective of the three uninstaller programs we tested. While IOBit and Revo Uninstaller both have their limitations, Geek Uninstaller's ability to detect and remove programs without missing a beat makes it an attractive option for those looking for a reliable uninstaller.
