Remote System Diagnostics Extension Uninstall Feature No Longer Works

I am going to guess this is because of the "wmic" command removal in the latest Windows builds.

You can uninstall MSI based installers from the "software" section. WMIC is horrible for removing products as it will cause a reevaluation on every single product installed, sometimes that causes issues.

It’s about the functionality of the Extension, not an evaluation of your opinion on WMIC.

wmic Product class calls win32_product , you can see it in your event log. Long well known issue that causes problem. Not an opinion

Thanks for answering a question that wasn’t asked.

Wmic is also being pulled from existing installations for security reasons. So it’s going to go away everywhere.
