"Open in DeoVR" remains in Windows menu after uninstall

donotwant

There is a menu item named "Open in DeoVR" which shows up when right-clicking on video files in Windows 10. This is not removed by the uninstall process, and it remains after multiple reboots. I've looked for the item with tools like ShellMenuView but it doesn't appear to be there. I presume there are a bunch of registry keys that DeoVR added but didn't remove, but the registry is very large and I need some help if I'm going in there.

How can I remove this remnant?

Hello!
Use a special software for this, for example, ccleaner or similar...

Yar Way ahead of you. ShellMenuView, that I mentioned, is exactly the kind of software that lets you view and edit the Windows context menu. The CCleaner tool for this lists fewer items than ShellMenuView does (i.e. it's worse).

Please change the flag on this to 'developer', as the support response did not have useful information.

You can try:

Windows: Regedit.exe, locate and delete:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Deo VR

But I don't think it will do much as DeoVR doesn't create a shell command.
How did you install it? (source?)

Yes, I've already gone through the registry in a few places including that location.

I've had menu items in the past that I've been able to remove for other applications, but this one seems to be doing things a bit differently; it's possible that there are registry changes elsewhere.

I installed it via Steam.

Since this is the first result in Google and no one else has an answer, here's how you get rid of it.

In Regedit just search "Open in DeoVR" and delete all keys that show up for each extension.

For example:
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations.mkv\Shell\Open in DeoVR
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations.mp4\Shell\Open in DeoVR
etc.

I have the same problem and that's not it.

The solution is here:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\.avi\OpenWithProgids

the key called "deovr" has to be deleted for each video file extensions.

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\deovr can also be deleted
