Recently, I had to install a bunch of programs in a rush, so I skipped using Revo Uninstaller Pro to track them.

I then had to uninstall most of those programs, and Revo seemed to handle the removal just as well as if the installations had been tracked.

Is it still better to track installs?

I am using Revo Uninstaller 5.5.2.

Hunter Mode in Revo Uninstaller is a specialized tool that minimizes the program interface and gives you a targeting crosshair to manage, stop, or uninstall any active app, shortcut, or system tray icon on your desktop.

Click and hold the target icon, drag it directly over an open window, desktop shortcut, or system tray icon, and release the mouse button.

I've used Revo Uninstaller Pro for several years now and is my go-to uninstaller for apps in Windows. I don't though use Hunter Mode.

I cannot tell if the track install identifies any files or registry entries that Pro Uninstall would not find. But tack has to be used carefully and make sure nothing else is running. I found this the hard way as while I was installing a program I either used or opened Thunderbird. After doing some test I unistalled the tracked program and the process broke Thunderbird by deleted some of its control files. Fortunately I had a recent image backup to restore the system.
