How Do I Uninstall Yuzu without the maintenance tool?
What happened to my yuzu?
Videos
So, A few days ago I ran the maintenance tool and while it was downloading the latest update I decided to fire up Citra to check something. Now, Citra is set up so that when I close it, it runs its maintenance tool in the background to check for new updates. So I went back to the Yuzu M.tool which had shown me some error I don't remember. So I, confused, restarted it only for it to tell me the M.tool is already running. That's when I realized it can't differentiate between the Yuzu and Citra M.tool. So I opened Task Manager and closed Citra's M.tool. I then tried to start Yuzu only to find the yuzu-windows-msvc empty. So I tried running the M.tool again. At first, it just told me Yuzu is already up to date, which is obviously untrue. Then I tried "Modify" which downloads the files only to then give the error "Unable to open file handle: Os { code: 80, kind: AlreadyExists, message: "The file exists." }" And uninstall just gives "Unable to delete global shortcut: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "The system cannot find the file specified." }"
After a new version of yuzu was uploaded pressing Update finally did something but it only gives the same "Unable to open file handle" error as modify does. And now, it went back to telling me it's already up to date.
I did try deleting the M.tool and the metadata.json and starting fresh but that didn't do anything. Even removing the entire folder and starting with a new yuzu_install.exe didn't fix anything.
I am currently forced to update via the manual downloads on the yuzu website. Luckily, whatever this is, it didn't affect the emulator itself, which runs perfectly fine still.
I suspect what happened here is the intersection of the two M.tools, which are at there core still very similar, screwed something up.
I did end up fixing it. The issue seems to have been a missing Start Menu Shortcut.
Manually creating the "yuzu Maintenance tool.lnk" Shortcut in the Start Menu, which was the only thing in the metadata.json, allowed me to uninstall yuzu after which installation was functional again.
I want to update EA yuzu without having to download the new version instead, is this possible?

Im looking to uninstall yuzu and do a clean install of the latest ea build im compiling myself, but the Yuzu maintinance tool is down so I cant uninstall anyone know a fix for this. Im looking to completely uninstall it. Thanks in advance.
I use search yuzu to open yuzu. Recently, as of today, the only thing that comes up is yuzu maintenance tool? Where is normal install, please? Sorry, I just always open programs using search rather than going to wherever executable is at.
Thanks, in advance.
I did have auto-update turned on, I believe. I am on Windows 10. My config folder is where it should be but I no longer can search or bring up the actual executable. It is not in either program files directory.
Will updating yuzu wipe my Nand? I have a lot of updates installed on an old version and I don’t have the files anymore, would hate to lose them. What’s the easiest way to update to the most recent stable build?
I made a Portable Yuzu Updater for Standalone versions of Yuzu. Inspired from Stellar, a RetroArch updater.
Perfect for those who run Yuzu off an External HDD or through (but not limited to) frontends such as LaunchBox, Steam, EmulationStation and HyperSpin.
