Will uninstalling StreamFab possibly solve some of my issues?

I see in some posts that uninstalling and then reinstalling solved some issues they were having.
My question is what is the best way to do that?
I'm guessing that I would have to do the following:

Do I first have to deauthorize my computer
Uninstall StreamFab via the "Apps & features" section in Windows 10
Download the version I want to re-install via the Extended Download Service in the Member page of the website
Then authorize my computer again

Does that sound right or is there a simpler process to achieve the same thing?

Thanks,
Chuck

If you are re-installing on the same PC you don’t need to de-authorize/authorize.

but yes, go under Settings/Programs and Features, uninstall, and install the version you want.

And I do recommend that if you are having unique issues, or if after an update StreamFab or one of its download modules crashes, you try using the offline installer as a potential fix.

Will it? Possibly, but without knowing the issues, we cannot say for sure ;)
It is always best to deauthorize, for all software when uninstalling, even if you're going to put it right back in. Just good to get in the habbit of doing that

Thanks for the reply. Is the "offline installer" the ones located at the Extended Download Service in the Member page?

Thanks for the suggestion to deauthorize first. I thought it might be the best way to do it.

Yes. If you are wanting to install an older version. Otherwise you can use the latest from the post announcing it, or the DVDFab download page (small print has link to offline installer).

I didn't pay for extended download, so I just down load the off line installers when every new version is posted, and keep them in a spare folder.
