In Windows 10, how can I see a history of apps that I have uninstalled.  I may have uninstalled and app by accident, but don't know which one it was.

    You would actually need to click on the view tab and click on preview pane so you would be able to see the details of it. If you are going to check the screenshot that I included below, you would see that there's a log for the installation of Microsoft Research AutoCollage 2008 last 4/6/2020 on my Event Viewer.

    Hi Reed,

    This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you.

    There is no actual list for it but you can actually view a list of changes made by msinstaller on Event Viewer. MS Installer is what the Windows 10 used for any installation, uninstallation, and changes made on applications. To access it kindly launch the Event Viewer and open up the section Windows Logs, sub-section Application. Sort the list by the Source column, then scroll and view the informative events produced by "MsiInstaller".

    Thanks,

    I went through all the "MsiInstaller" entries but found nothing that was of help: The only unique column for any of them was "Event ID".  I was hoping for something like "Uninstalled application XXX".

    Wilfred,  

    Thanks for your amazingly quick reply!  I followed the various links derived from your provided link, but could not discover what the Event Viewer was or how to run it.  Any help?

    Thanks Much,

    Reed [Merino]
