Uninstall on Windows.

Remove Ilopad from your Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC.

Uninstall Ilopad the way that Windows removes each app: from Settings. The silent uninstall for advanced users is shown after it. If you want, you can then also remove your settings.

Method 1: Uninstall in Settings (recommended)

Point and click. The Ilopad uninstaller removes the program, the pen-tablet driver, the gamepad driver if Ilopad installed it, and the firewall rules. Windows asks for permission one time, to remove the drivers and the firewall rules.

1

Quit Ilopad

Open the Ilopad window from its icon in the system tray. If you do not see the icon, click the arrow at the right-hand end of the taskbar first. Click the menu button at the top right of the window, then click Quit. If you forget, the uninstaller asks you to close Ilopad and then click OK.

2

Open the list of installed apps

Open Start › Settings › Apps. On Windows 10, Apps & features opens with the list. On Windows 11, click Installed apps. Find Ilopad in the list. Its name includes its version, for example Ilopad version 1.0.4.

3

Click Uninstall

On Windows 10, click Ilopad, then Uninstall. On Windows 11, click … beside Ilopad, then Uninstall. Windows says that the app and its related info will be uninstalled: click Uninstall again.

You can also open the Ilopad folder in the Start menu and click Uninstall Ilopad.
4

Confirm

The Ilopad uninstaller asks if you are sure that you want to completely remove Ilopad and all of its components. Click Yes.

If nothing seems to happen, this question can be behind the Settings window. Move or close Settings, then click Yes.
5

Approve the permission prompt

User Account Control asks one time. As during the install, it names Ilopad and shows the verified publisher Tiny Bits Ltd. Click Yes: Ilopad needs it to remove the drivers and the firewall rules.

If you click No, the uninstaller stops and says that Ilopad was not removed. Nothing changes: the program, the drivers and the firewall rules stay. To remove Ilopad, run the uninstall again and click Yes. If you installed Ilopad for all users, or from an elevated PowerShell, Windows asks for permission one time, when the uninstaller starts, and does not ask again.
6

Finish

The uninstaller says that Ilopad was successfully removed from your computer. Click OK.

The uninstaller removes the program, the Start menu shortcuts, the Start on Login entry, the firewall rules Ilopad Server and Ilopad mDNS, the VMulti pen-tablet driver and, if Ilopad installed it, the ViGEmBus gamepad driver. It keeps your settings: see Remove your settings below.
If ViGEmBus was on the computer before Ilopad, for example from DS4Windows or Steam, the uninstaller does not remove it.

Method 2: Silent uninstall (advanced)

Removing Ilopad from several machines, or prefer the command line? The uninstaller accepts Inno Setup’s silent switches. It still needs administrator rights for the drivers and the firewall rules, so an ordinary PowerShell gets one permission prompt. Run the command from an elevated PowerShell to uninstall with no prompt.

1

Run the uninstaller silently

The first line quits Ilopad. The second runs the uninstaller from the folder that Ilopad installed into:

Stop-Process -Name ilopad-server -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\Ilopad\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART
If you installed Ilopad for all users, the uninstaller is C:\Program Files\Ilopad\unins000.exe. The command returns at once: the uninstaller continues for a few seconds after it.

Remove your settings

Optional. The uninstaller keeps your settings, your paired devices and the server key, so that a new install can use them. Delete them if you do not install Ilopad again.

1

Delete the settings folder

Open File Explorer, click the address bar, type %APPDATA% and press Enter. Delete the ilopad folder. Or, in PowerShell:

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:APPDATA\ilopad"
