I bought a Corsair H150I AIO cooler because it could show the CPU pump temperature, among other things, through ICue software. This evening, ICue auto updated itself and in the process, the CPU temp display was not an option anymore.

I checked Control Panel/Programs to uninstall it and ICue wasn't listed. I ran both RevoUninstaller and Absolute Uninstaller and ICue wasn't listed there either.

I have an older version of ICue to install but it won't run because it says a newer version is already installed.

So, how can I get rid of a program that isn't listed anywhere. The Corsair program folder has the ICue files in it but no uninstaller.

It's not listed in any uninstall programs including Revo and Absolute (we're looking at Corsair ICue, not ICue):

Link me to the program on Corsair.

According to my use of iCue software (and as far as I know, according to Corsair) there is one iCue software. Are you running something else from Corsair and not telling us the correct name. Are you running iCue SDK or something?

Maybe you could try downloading & installing it again and then checking REVO

It's not listed in any uninstall programs
IMO that's an indication it's not fully installed. I would try to install the same version of ICUE. Then see if it shows up in Revo as uninstallable.
Some install executables also include a repair option.
checked Control Panel/Programs to uninstall it and ICue wasn't listed.
But did you check settings>apps>installed apps>3 dots

OK, apparently the automatic software update really screwed up the package. I went to Corsair's iCue website and downloaded the most recent installer package. I manually stopped iCue in task manager and renamed the iCue folder in program folders (installer said that the required folder was not empty) and created an empty folder. Installer went ahead to a successful completion and all the sensor options are now back in the program (including the CPU package). Corsair iCue software is now back in Control Panel/Programs again.

Going to turn off automatic update installation so this doesn't happen again.

Thanks everybody for all the help!!!!
