Affinity photo 2 does not show up in Windows 11 add/remove programs

Recommended Posts

I am running Windows 11.  I installed Affinity Photo 2, then tried to install addons (e.g.,, Fog overlays and Rain overlays by Paper Farms).  The addons never showed up under the "Assets" tab.  At that point, I checked in Windows Add/Remove programs app and did not see Affinity photo listed.  So I cannot uninstall it nor can I add any addons.  I was able to find the installation folder at:  C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2_2.0.0.1640_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt\App.

How do I work with this Affinity Program if Windows doesn't recognize its installation.

How do I uninstall it and re-install to a directory that windows will recognize??????????

For whatever reason Serif decided the Default, and Assets categories would be empty. So make sure you check beyond that, as seen in my screen capture.

Is it there in Settings->Apps->Installed Apps? You can uninstall from there. Not sure what's happening with the assets. Just got some to download for me.

I found the uninstall where you said it would be.  Thank you so much.  I still don't get why it doesn't show up in the list of installed programs.  You have been extremely helpful.

and I am very grateful.

They are Windows Apps, which aren't included in that older Windows user interface you were trying to use.
