This is a fresh 2012 R2 VM that I happen to be provisioning at the time that you asked this, so the list above is empty, but when you install third-party applications they will show up here.


On basically any recent version of windows, if there is a GUI, you can do windows+R and run appwiz.cpl. This will get you the GUI uninstall window.

If I recall, you can get to this using server manager too, on the core server installs.

Remember also that what this menu does is simply run the cached copy of the MSI, so generally if you run the MSI again you can use that to uninstall if you want. That's not a GUI way necessarily though.
