What is the initial step to uninstall CANES applications via the Control Panel?

The initial step to uninstall CANES applications via the Control Panel involves selecting Programs and Features. This option provides a comprehensive list of all the applications installed on the system, allowing the user to identify and select the specific CANES application they wish to uninstall.

Once in Programs and Features, users can find the application that needs to be removed, and from there, they can initiate the uninstallation process. This approach is standard across many Windows operating systems, making it a familiar and effective method for managing installed applications.

The other choices do not lead directly to the uninstallation process. System Settings does not provide a direct interface for application management. Device Manager focuses on hardware components and drivers rather than installed software applications. Administrative Tools encompasses utilities for system administration but does not specifically relate to uninstalling applications. Thus, selecting Programs and Features is the logical and correct starting point for uninstalling applications.
