    Hi,

    Please see the following Grub2Win help topic:

    file:///C:/grub2/winhelp/usermanual/Grub2Win%20User%20Manual.html?UninstallingGrub2Win.html

    You can also run :

    C:\grub2\winsource\xxuninstall.bat

    to manually uninstall the program.

    C:\grub2\winsource\xxuninstall.bat

    I no longer have it, deleted this folder after installing Grub2Win
    After installing Grub2Win, the folders on my computer stopped opening, I rebooted the computer, but the windovs 7 system did not turn on, I had to turn off the computer more than 20 times with the button on the system unit, trying to boot the system through BIOS and Grub2Win settings until I found the flash drive I needed, which fixed the problem of loading windows 7

    How do I remove this? I could try reinstalling Grub2Win to uninstall via C: \ grub2 \ winsource \ xxuninstall.bat
    But I don’t want to risk it, it will start blocking my computer again, I don’t want to risk my computer.

    C:\grub2\winsource\xxuninstall.bat
    Rather, I deleted this folder after authorization from the flash drive and did not find the deletion.
    I have not found a file to uninstall the program.

    Hi again Smit,

    It seems you have several things going on here.

    Grub2Win does not do anything that could cause your folders not to open.
    It simply creates the C:\grub2 directory and places an entry in your BCD to point to the GNU Grub kernel at boot time. It does not alter any Windows code or registry entries. The source code is available in C:\grub2\winsource. You can review the code to see that it does not alter Windows.

    The behavior you describe sounds like it is caused by antivirus software or another third party utility or driver.

    If you want to remove all parts of Grub2Win, the easiest way is to re-install it and then run the normal Grub2Win uninstall.

    I hope this helps.

    Dave

    Hi again,

    I want to re-emphasize that Grub2Win does not touch the Windows bootloader or any other Windows code. It simply adds a pointer in your BCD to the GNU Grub kernel.

    There is some other software that is messing up your system. Or possibly your BCD is corrupted.
