holger1405 I know that, the problem is that it doesnt even show up in the windows control panel, or under installed apps and in the folder itself there is no uninstall listed (or in the bioware docs folder) and yet i can still play it from the install folder that will only go if i delete the whole DA2 folder. However if I reinstall it even on a completely different drive I still cannot uninstall it either by the EA app uninstallation link or trying to find it in installed apps list from windows CP . Same with DA:O. Only ones that show up in both winbdows and the app at all are DAI and DATVG as being available for uninstallation.
No, I asked whether, by 'manual', you meant installation via the Windows Control Panel, rather than deleting the game folders by hand.
But you answered that with your replay.
- Hit Windows key and X.
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)", whichever option is offered.
- Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter: (You can copy and paste the following cursive text.) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth
- Press ENTER.
- If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found repeat steps 1 & 2.
- Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
- Press ENTER.
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
- After it reaches 100% repeat steps 1 & 2.
- Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter: sfc /scannow
- Press ENTER.
- Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.
why do that. You are seeming to say i may have a bad HDD or SSd, I regualary check all my drives for errors, as i have 6 drives, 3 SSD and three HDD, all are error free and defraged/optomised. I have and install / remove 20 to 30 games/programs every month easily, yet with DA1 and 2 they are literally the only games i have this problem with.

No, this has (probably) nothing to do with your drive. This is likely a OS (Registry) problem.
The commands in my last post are not cheeking your drives but Windows system folders and files.
