[thc202]

Hi,

You are not the first user to report this.
https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/issues/9171

A user reported that Java 17 worked fine:
https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/issues/9078#issuecomment-3336236412

Did you update Java?

Best regards.

Your Java environment needs to be set up properly, Both JDK and JRE need to be stable.

Hello!

this is strange and surprising.....

i uninstalled ZAProxy from Windows 10 without any problems....

and i don't think Java is relevant in this situation...

uninstalling a program in Settings.....

the first and vost basic way to uninstall a program in Windows 11 is to use the appropriate in the Settings app.

the steps are as follows:

open start -> settings or press Win+I on your keyboard

go to Apps -> installed apps

...... etc

best regards ar

Java is relevant since the uninstaller uses Java (same way as it's
needed for installing).

Best regards.
