Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • OS version and name: Windows 10 Pro 1909
  • Hyper.app version: 3.0.2
  • Contents of .hyper.js: default
  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla

Issue

I installed Hyper via the binary at https://releases.hyper.is/download/win; I subsequently attempted to uninstall it via the Apps & features settings page in Windows.

After hitting Uninstall, nothing appears to happen at all. The Hyper entry still exists in the Apps & features list; all files appear to be intact in my AppData directory too.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the uninstall flow from the Windows Apps & features settings page using the binary from releases.hyper.is/download/win, then inspect the installed files in AppData. Done means selecting Uninstall removes the Hyper entry and its files instead of leaving both intact.
