After Avast uninstall Windows can't find Outlook

Non-Avast security products

I uninstalled Avast and now when I try to open Outlook, Windows replies that it cannot find it. It does this even when I go to the folder containing the actual “Outlook.exe” file and try to open that.
I have exactly the same problem with Microsoft Edge.

I complained to Microsoft, and they are reporting that this is a know problem CAUSED BY AVAST.

What do I do now to get my Office suite of programmes working properly.

I have had a really kind and helpful email giving me the following fix

  1. open run (Windows key + r)

  2. type regedit

  3. navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options

  4. delete the folders of the apps that don`t work

I followed the steps - it worked! Brilliant - thanks Bill.
