Uninstallation

This page explains how to fully remove the conneQt® Toolbar from a Windows workstation. It covers the standard Windows uninstall process, a scripted PowerShell method for managed deployments, and an optional deregistration step for cases where the licence registration needs to be explicitly cleared.

In most cases, uninstalling via Windows is sufficient, the standard uninstaller will remove the application and its registration in a single step. The additional methods on this page are provided for specific scenarios, such as automated deployments or situations where deregistration is required independently of uninstallation.

Warning

Before proceeding, confirm with your IT team or practice lead that the Toolbar is no longer required for any active clinical workflows.

Requirements

Requirement Details
Administrator privileges A user with local administrator rights must perform the uninstallation.
Toolbar closed Ensure all instances of the conneQt® Toolbar are closed before proceeding.

Uninstallation via Windows

The conneQt® Toolbar can be uninstalled via Windows like any other application.

  1. Close all instances of the conneQt® Toolbar.
  2. Open Settings > Apps > Apps & features (Windows 10) or Settings > Apps > Installed apps (Windows 11).
  3. Search for conneQt Toolbar.
  4. Select the application and click Uninstall.
  5. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the removal.
Note

On older systems or where Group Policy restricts Settings access, you can also use Control Panel > Programs and Features > select conneQt Toolbar > Uninstall.

Uninstallation via PowerShell

For scripted or automated removals, the conneQt® Toolbar can be uninstalled silently using PowerShell. This is suitable for managed deployments such as SCCM.

  1. Open PowerShell as Administrator.

  2. Run the following command:

    Get-Package "conneQt Toolbar*" -Provider msi | Uninstall-Package -Force

Deregistration Options

Occasionally, deregistering the conneQt® Toolbar from a local machine is necessary to remove registration material from the Windows PC, especially for practice installations or if an installation is blocked by Quicksilva's back-end services team.

A Windows Administrator can unregister by running this command on the PC:

Qxlva.Toolbar.Client.UserInterface.exe /unregister
Note

You can skip this process when uninstalling the conneQt® Toolbar from a Windows PC, as using the Windows add/remove programs feature will remove the registration key if it exists.
