I recently upgraded a PC from Win7 to Win10. When I try to uninstall unwanted programs, I get the error: windows cannot access the specified device path or file you may not have appropriate permissions.
If I manually navigate to the uninstaller, if there is one, it will work. I'm logged in as 'Administrator' which is a Domain Admin.
The object in question (msiexec.exe) is owned by trustedinstaller, but local\admin and domain\admin have read/write - execute permissions.
I can navigate to msiexec.exe and run it, but can't uninstall programs that do not have an uninstaller.exe in their installation path.
The issue only seems to happen when using "Add or remove programs"
