how to check if someone uninstalled program

[kakhat]

So i think my little brother uninstalled something but i don't know what and is there a way to check uninstall history or something like that?

What program do you think he removed? You should be able to look at the lack of evidence that it's there. A System Restore point may have also been created if you're using Windows.

Don't believe there is a uninstall history of sorts

there should be traces in windows explorer and in the registry. good luck.

if you run ccleaner *registry* cleaner you can look after the scan to see what bits of programs are left.

That doesn't mean that he removed it. It just means it's been removed, which really deals with the lack of evidence that it's present.

this isn't a court of law. but it is a way to tell if it could have been uninstalled during his possession.

something in the line of this............... https://forensiccontrol.com/resources/free-software/

The Event Logs would most likely have a record of an application being uninstalled.
