Remove AutoSteps

You can remove AutoSteps from a computer from the command line or from Programs and Features.

Before you start

• You must be logged in to the computer with local administrator rights.
• For command-line removal, you must use the same .msi package that was used for the installation.
• Close the AutoSteps application.

Remove AutoSteps from the command line

Remove AutoSteps with the following command:

• PowerShell

msiexec /x XXXXX.msi

Replace XXXXX.msi with the name of the AutoSteps installation file. Removal usually takes less than a minute.

Silent removal

If you remove AutoSteps from multiple computers, you may want to keep the removal completely transparent to the end users. In that case, add the /qn (quiet, no user interface) parameter:

• PowerShell

msiexec /x XXXXX.msi /qn

Remove AutoSteps from Programs and Features

1. Open Control Panel → Programs → Programs and Features.
2. Select PerformanceGuard AutoSteps, and then select Uninstall.

What removal changes

When you remove AutoSteps, the uninstaller also:

• Turns off Windows automatic logon on the computer and clears the stored logon user name, password, and domain.
• Removes the entry that starts AutoSteps when a user logs on.

The PerformanceGuard agent stays installed. To remove it too, see Remove Agents.
