How to uninstall the BGinfo

Question

Hi,

can you help me, how to uninstall the BGinfo on virtual machines in Azure ?
If anyone has any knowledge about this it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Answer 1

If creating a VM using PowerShell Az module, there is -DisableBginfoExtension switch to skip installing Bginfo extension, so you save time it takes to install it and don't need to uninstall.

New-AzVM -VM $VMConfig -Location $Location -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -DisableBginfoExtension

Answer 2

HI @SC

you should be able to remove it via Add or Remove Programs panel. The executable itself is usually located under C:\Program Files (x86), mostly C:\Program Files (x86)\DET\BGInfo.
