How To Uninstall VirtualBox

Anonymous

I got a notification that my current version of Windows 10 will not be receiving support soon and that it is recommended that I update to the latest version of Windows. In order to that I was instructed to download some feature updates and I get a notification to uninstall VirtualBox. I have never downloaded this program, and I could not find it to uninstall it. I went online to download it, install it, and uninstall it. However, after doing all of that, I still get the notification to uninstall it.

I found a helpful discussion on another forum (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider\_wintp-insider\_install/keeps-asking-me-to-uninstall-virtualbox-when/6ef6e13a-047c-4fe4-bb0a-596be83ba169) and I followed the instructions provided by Prakhar_Khare. I ran the batch file, however, it could not resolve my issue. At this point, I have absolutely no idea what to do now.

    One of the main reason could be of LD PLAYER

    Do you have something that may be using Virtualbox under-the-hood, like LDPlayer or Bluestacks?

    A number of people over at the Windows stable release forum had either of it installed.

    I stuck at Windows 10 update to version 20h2 when it says "What - Microsoft Community

    Hi

    Thanks for responding! I read and followed everything you have provided and I am still having this issue. When I searched up on Registry, I found something for VirtualBox and Oracle. I was not able to delete the Oracle data for some reason.
