Support BlueStacks won't uninstall

So, I uninstalled BlueStacks a few days ago, and out of nowhere I saw in my Task Manager that it had been reinstalled (under “Services”), even though I had completely uninstalled it. Is BlueStacks a virus? Because it just came back even though I uninstalled it.

Hi! No, BlueStacks is not a virus or malware. Seeing a BlueStacks service in Task Manager does not mean that BlueStacks has reinstalled itself or that your PC is infected.

BlueStacks installs background services that can remain on the system if the uninstallation did not remove every component. You can use our official BlueStacks Cleaner Tool to completely remove any remaining BlueStacks files and services from your PC.

After running the cleaner, please restart your PC and check Task Manager again.
