Too Many Entries in System Settings

<< < (2/3) > >>

I recently updated Windows 10 to the new Creators version, and as I was going through settings to see what changes had been made.  I noticed the same thing with my system, as shown in the original post.  I was wondering if there has been any updates about how to remove the numerous entries? 

I don't mind having one entry in the notification area, but it appears as if each time we remove an old version and install a new version of Screenshot Captor the entry for "notifications and actions" is duplicated.  I'm guessing that there may be something missing from the uninstall program that isn't removing the program completely (something like leaving behind certain reg key entries).  I may be restating the obvious issue, if so I apologize.  Just wondering if there has been any new developments with this issue.

Based on the original post, even when SC is being used PORTABLY, without any installer, the poster was having this same problem.
So it would seem to be an issue that only effects rare people, and has nothing to do with the installer.  But what is causing it is a mystery?
Are you always installing it and running it from the same place?

Maybe this will help?

There seems to be a big long thread here, but it's hard for me to find a real explanation or solution:

Its happening to so many programs I can only assume that eventually Microsoft will fix their system to not have this problem.. But it would be nice to understand the nature of it before then..

I've found a solution by StephenHaxby in this thread:

Notification settings are saved in an SQLite Database here:

C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Notifications\wpndatabase.db

You can view the contents with any SQLite Database reader/query, I used this:

http://sqlitebrowser.org/

Just search the 'NotificationHandler' table for the notification you want to delete (select * from NotificationHandler), in my case it was 'Symantec.ToastUI' and it was at 'RecordId' 72.
Then just delete everything conected to this Handler:

delete from HandlerSettings where HandlerID = 72

delete from Notification where HandlerId = 72

delete from WNSPushChannel where HandlerId = 72

delete from NotificationHandler where RecordId = 72

Save the DB (if you are using the app above) and re-open the Notifications Settings App.
Your unwanted/uninstalled app should now be gone.

Well... It was for me...

As said may times in this thread, you should be deleting registry entries...
