Can't uninstall Avira. Deleting folder manually produces BSOD boot loop
The title says it all. Everytime I wanted to uninstall Avira an error message appeared claiming uninstall.dll or something like that was missing. Repairing produced the same error. So I tried to manually delete every Avira folder and everything was well until I uninstalled the Program Files folder which when restarting the PC produced a Blue Screen of Death loop until I either entered Safe Mode and restores the folder or I did a System Restore. I even tried soft reinstalling Windows 11 to no avail. The BSOD claims rtp_process_monitor.sys failed after deleting the Avira Program Files folder. I deleted that .sys file from the system32 folder but then Windows wouldn't even boot and I had to System Restore it again. So I have no way of deleting the Avira folder, the only option I'm left with is a full clean install of Windows, but I really don't want to do that.

Hello Martín. I have faced the exact same problem... I was able to repair the blue screen by repairing the system with a usb stick. But this is getting ridiculous, im a new user of Avira and i have faced 2 big problems at the moment, the blue screen and then the context scan menu that is missing.
The avira team doesn't seem to fix any of the problems i mean, i have created 3 post in the community forum and i didnt get an answer.. The problem of the context scan menu is important and we are with it more than 1 month already and the blue screen of death is a HUGE problem. For example, im sure that if you post a problem in the Avast forum, you will be get an answer in hours...

I ended up performing a clean reinstall of Windows 11. Now the folder is gone and I sure as hell won't be reinstalling Avira again any time soon, their shitty program made me completely reinstall my OS. (This is a new laptop BTW, it has less than a month old, so the fault is clearly with Avira)
