# How to uninstall AdBlock

Need to remove AdBlock from your PC? There are two ways to do it: the quickest is our dedicated uninstaller tool, or you can remove it manually through Windows Settings. Both are covered below, and we'll point you to exactly what to click at each step.

> **Before you start:** make sure AdBlock is fully closed. If it's still running, close it before following the steps below.

## Option 1: Use the AdBlock uninstaller (quickest)

The fastest way to remove AdBlock is with our dedicated uninstaller tool.

1. Go to <https://download.adblocklabs.com/AdblockUninstall.exe>. The uninstaller will start downloading automatically.
2. Open your **Downloads** folder and run the downloaded file (**AdblockUninstall.exe**).
3. When the uninstaller window opens, click the large **Uninstall Now** button.
4. Windows may ask for permission to make changes ("Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?"). Click **Yes**.
5. Click **Continue Uninstall** to begin. The uninstaller will start removing AdBlock.
6. When you see the **"AdBlock uninstalled"** success message, close the uninstaller window.
7. That's it. AdBlock and all of its files have been removed.

## Option 2: Uninstall from Windows Settings

Prefer to do it manually? You can also remove AdBlock through Windows Settings. Follow the steps for your version of Windows.

### Windows 11

1. Click the **Start** button (the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of your screen), then click the gear-shaped **Settings** icon.
2. In the Settings window, click **Apps** in the left-hand menu, then click **Installed apps** on the right.
3. Scroll down the list (or type **AdBlock** into the search box at the top) until you find **AdBlock Labs**.
4. Click the three dots (**⋯**) on the right-hand side of the **AdBlock Labs** row, then choose **Uninstall**.
5. A small confirmation box will pop up. Click **Uninstall** again to confirm.
6. Windows may ask for permission to make changes ("Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?"). Click **Yes**.
7. In the **AdBlock Setup** window that opens, click **Uninstall Now**.
8. Wait a few seconds while it removes itself. You'll see a green checkmark and **"AdBlock Uninstalled"** when it's done.
9. Click **Close** to finish. Once AdBlock Labs disappears from the list, it's fully removed.

### Windows 10

1. Click the **Start** button (the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of your screen), then click the gear-shaped **Settings** icon.
2. In the Settings window, click **Apps**.
3. On the **Apps & features** page, scroll down the list (or type **AdBlock** into the search box) until you find **AdBlock Labs**.
4. Click **AdBlock Labs** to expand it, then click the **Uninstall** button that appears.
5. A small confirmation box will pop up. Click **Uninstall** again to confirm.
6. Windows may ask for permission to make changes ("Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?"). Click **Yes**.
7. In the **AdBlock Setup** window that opens, click **Uninstall Now**.
8. Wait a few seconds while it removes itself. You'll see a green checkmark and **"AdBlock Uninstalled"** when it's done.
9. Click **Close** to finish. Once AdBlock Labs disappears from the list, it's fully removed.

> **Quick tip:** You can jump straight to the app list by right-clicking the **Start** button and choosing **Apps and Features**, or by typing **"Add or remove programs"** into the Windows search bar.

## Changed your mind?

If you'd like to reinstall AdBlock later, download it again from the [official AdBlock download page](https://www.adblocklabs.com/).
