  1. First I like to just remove the default status of WPS and found no way (instruction)
    Next I tried to remove it and got stopped by wpsupdate.exe

    Regretfully I feel WPS is too aggressive.

  2. WPS was put on my windows 7 ME by a tech. I have Word also. WPS Has taken over Excel to their version. If I uninstall WPS will all be OK in WORD/EXCEL documents?

    • This article tells what to do if you don’t need WPS, don’t know how it appeared on your PC and don’t know how to uninstall it. I think, you should not worry about it and leave it on your PC. If you uninstall WPS and you don’t have another program for handling Excel files (xls, xlsx), your files will stay where they are, but you may not be able to open them.

  3. I have uninstalled it via “Iobit unistaller” which eliminates all registry remnants. Nevertheless, clicking upon a Word file, I saw it opening into a new WPS installation that I never authorized. Later, I found that WPS has switched all typical office extension preferences to open with WPS instead of MS Office.
    Please, is there a method to get rid of this annoying program suite?
    Thank you
