How to Stop DeskScapes from Running (so I can uninstall it)

from Stardock Forums

I have DeskScapes 10 on Windows 10. I want to uninstall DeskScapes. But when I try, a dialogue says DeskScapes is running and I should quit it first.

There seems to be no option to quit DeskScapes. How do I stop DeskScapes from running?

If all else fails, simply kill or disable the services in both services.msc and task manager?

If I remember correctly, Deskscape 10, you just need to set your Windows desktop wallpaper to something else, right click on desktop->personalize-> background-> Slideshow or solid color.

That will then auto off Deskscape.

Thank you,

Hello, OP here.

I can confirm that the DeskScape 10 settings do not have a "Disable" option. Nor can you disable DeskScapes by changing the Windows wallpaper to something else.

I ended up killing the process from task manager as Redneckdude suggested. The uninstallation seemed to go over well after that, so issue is resolved.

Thank you to everyone.
