Hi there,

Ive tried to uninstall gp from my computer, however, it keeps reinstalling. I have tried deleting all files related to gp (e.g appdata gp files and gp program files). ive also tried this method (link is below) but it doesnt work as it keeps reinstalling. Does anyone know how to uninstall it permanantly?

Hi @ephspamacc ,

Yes that should do the trick (uninstall-the-globalprotect-app-for-windows ).

Do you by chance have a managed device and GP is pushed by GPO ?

Kind regards,

-Kim.

Hi Kiwi,

the uninstall method did not work. I do not have a managed device.

(i have a managed device and a personal computer and i downloaded gp on my computer and put in my login details through the portal and now its stuck on my personal computer)

any solutions?
