I had installed the Zoom client on my PC as a local non-admin user, and then had to go to IT to get an admin to uninstall it.

Zoom is not alone in doing this. (Or maybe it's a Windows "feature"?)



Your IT might have set up a group policy object that disables uninstalling software (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-accidental-uninst...)


That's about removing a shortcut, not banning uninstalling user-installed apps, which would be ridiculous.

If that's what stopped parent poster from uninstaling, that's PEBCAK.


Yeah could be. I had a requested a Mac.
