Uninstalling
OLED Guard Pro is a normal Windows app. There is no uninstaller of our own, no driver-level component, and no service running outside your user session. Removal is fast.
Microsoft Store edition
- Open Settings › Apps › Installed apps.
- Find OLED Guard Pro.
- Click the … menu and choose Uninstall.
Windows removes the app and its sandboxed local-state folder. Storefront entitlement remains attached to your Microsoft account, so reinstalling later does not require a re-purchase.
Steam edition
- In Steam, right-click OLED Guard Pro in your library.
- Choose Manage › Uninstall.
Steam removes the install directory. Your entitlement remains attached to your Steam account.
What stays behind
The Microsoft Store edition runs in a sandbox; uninstalling removes everything.
The Steam edition writes a small amount of local state (preset library, wear histogram, last-used configuration) to your %LOCALAPPDATA% directory, in a folder named OLEDGuard.
If you want to remove it after uninstalling, delete that folder. It contains no logs of your screen contents, no images, and no personally identifying information — just configuration JSON and a binary histogram.
Reset without uninstalling
If you want to start fresh without removing the app:
- Quit OLED Guard Pro from the system tray.
- Delete the local-state folder (Steam edition) at the path shown in the previous section, or — on the Microsoft Store edition — use Settings › Apps › Installed apps › OLED Guard Pro › Advanced options › Reset.
- Launch the app again. It will rebuild defaults.
A note on display health
The wear histogram is the most useful piece of state to keep across reinstalls. If you uninstall to clear a transient bug and reinstall later, your tracked wear total resets. The panel does not — the actual aging stays. We mention this so you don’t mistake the reset histogram for a fixed display.
