+## How to uninstall AdGuard for Windows {#uninstall}
+
+### Regular method
+
+If you need to uninstall or reinstall AdGuard, do the following:
+
+Open the *Start Menu*, then select *Settings*. In the window that opens, click *Apps* → *Installed apps*. Select *AdGuard* from the list of your installed apps, click the three-dot menu, and select *Uninstall*. After the app is uninstalled, restart your computer.
+
+![Uninstallation *border](https://cdn.adtidy.org/content/kb/ad_blocker/windows/installation/installation_new/win11_uninstall_adguard.png)
+
+:::note
+
+The uninstaller automatically creates a backup of your settings in `C:\ProgramData\Adguard\Backups`. If you plan to reinstall AdGuard later, you can use this backup to restore your settings. For more information, see [How to back up and restore AdGuard settings](/adguard-for-windows/solving-problems/backup-and-restore).
+
+:::
+
+### Advanced method {#advanced}
+
+If the regular uninstall doesn’t work for any reason, you can use the advanced method. First, [download the uninstaller tool](https://static.adtidy.org/windows/uninstaller/uninstall_utility.zip) created by our developers. Extract the archive to any folder on your PC and run **Adguard.UninstallUtility.exe**, then allow the app to make changes to your device.
+
+1. Select *AdGuard Ad Blocker* and *Standard* uninstall type, then click *Uninstall*.
+
+    ![Standard uninstall *border](https://cdn.adtidy.org/content/kb/ad_blocker/windows/installation/installation_new/advanced_uninstall_standard.png)
+
+1. Wait until the uninstall is finished and restart your computer.
+
+    ![Uninstall finished *border](https://cdn.adtidy.org/content/kb/ad_blocker/windows/installation/installation_new/uninstall_complete.png)
+
+:::caution
+
+Follow the next steps only if the Standard uninstall didn’t fully remove AdGuard. We strongly suggest contacting our support before using the Extended uninstall.
+
+:::
+
+1. Select *AdGuard Ad Blocker* and *Extended*. Click *Yes, continue* in the prompt and then click *Uninstall*.
+
+    ![Extended uninstall warning *border](https://cdn.adtidy.org/content/kb/ad_blocker/windows/installation/installation_new/uninstall_extended.png)
+
+1. Wait until the uninstall is finished and restart your computer.
+
+    ![Restart prompt *border](https://cdn.adtidy.org/content/kb/ad_blocker/windows/installation/installation_new/restart_prompt.png)
+
+AdGuard is successfully uninstalled!
+
+### Running the uninstaller in console mode
+
+You can also use command-line arguments to uninstall AdGuard for Windows.
+
+1. Open Command Prompt by typing `cmd` in the Start menu.
+1. Use `/console` to run the uninstaller in console mode, without the interactive UI. All the command-line parameters below will be ignored if the `/console` mode is not activated.
+1. Use `/adblocker` to uninstall AdGuard for Windows. It should look like this:
+
+    ```text
+    Adguard.UninstallUtility.exe /console /adblocker
+    ```
+
+1. You can also use `/advanced` to force the uninstaller to run in *Extended* mode and `/settings` to force the uninstaller to remove user settings along with the application.
+
+:::note
+
+The parameters `/console` and `/adblocker` are necessary for a successful uninstall. The parameters `/advanced` and `/settings` are optional.

+title: How to back up and restore AdGuard settings
+sidebar_position: 2
+---
+
+:::info
+
+This article covers AdGuard for Windows, a multifunctional ad blocker that protects your device at the system level. To see how it works, [download the AdGuard app](https://agrd.io/download-kb-adblock).
+
+:::
+
+When you update or uninstall AdGuard for Windows, the app automatically creates a backup of your settings in `C:\ProgramData\Adguard\Backups` as a ZIP file with a name like `adguard_settings_7.22.5008.0-08-04-2025-13_42_15.276.zip`. You can use this backup to restore your settings after reinstalling AdGuard.
+
+If AdGuard couldn’t transfer your settings to a new version, it will show a message offering to import the saved backup or keep the default settings.
+
+![Failed to transfer settings *border](https://cdn.adtidy.org/content/kb/ad_blocker/windows/version_8/solving_problems/failed_to_transfer_settings.png)
+
+## How to export and import settings manually {#export-import}
+
+You don’t have to wait for an automatic backup — you can create a settings file at any time and import it later. In AdGuard for Windows, open *Settings* and go to the *App settings* tab. Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner.
+
+![Settings *border](https://cdn.adtidy.org/content/kb/ad_blocker/windows/version_8/solving_problems/settings_export_import.png)
+
+- **Export settings** — saves your settings (filters, custom rules, DNS configuration, and app preferences) to an `.adg` file. Choose a location and save the file.
+- **Import settings** — restores settings from a previously exported `.adg` file. After importing, AdGuard will prompt you to restart the app to apply the changes.
+
+## How to restore settings after reinstalling AdGuard v8 {#reinstall-v8}
+
+If you’ve uninstalled AdGuard v8.0 (for example, to fix a corrupted installation) and want to reinstall it with your previous settings:
+
+1. Before reinstalling, locate the backup ZIP file in `C:\ProgramData\Adguard\Backups`. Copy it to a safe location outside `C:\ProgramData\Adguard`, such as your Desktop — the folder will be cleaned during reinstallation.
+
+1. Install AdGuard v8.0 again.
+
+1. Exit AdGuard from the system tray to stop filtering.
+
+1. Extract the contents of the backup ZIP file.
+
+1. Replace the following files with the ones from the backup:
+
+    - `adguard.db` → `C:\ProgramData\Adguard` — main settings database, including filters and custom rules
+    - `agflm_dns.db` → `C:\ProgramData\Adguard\FLM` — DNS filter database
+    - `agflm_standard.db` → `C:\ProgramData\Adguard\FLM` — standard filter database
+
+1. Launch AdGuard. Your previous settings, filters, and custom rules will be restored.
+
+## How to switch back to v7 after updating to v8.0 {#switch-back-v7}
+
+AdGuard for Windows v8.0 introduces significant changes. If you find the new interface uncomfortable or encounter issues, you can switch back to version 7.
+
+1. After upgrading to v8, open the folder `C:\ProgramData\Adguard\Backups` and find a ZIP file with a name similar to `adguard_settings_7.22.5008.0-08-04-2025-13_42_15.276.zip`.
+
+1. Copy this ZIP file somewhere outside `C:\ProgramData\Adguard`, for example, to your Desktop. This is important because the folder will be cleaned during the next step.
+
+1. Uninstall v8.0 via *Settings* → *Apps* → *Installed apps*. In the uninstaller dialog, check the box to remove all user settings and data so that no v8 leftovers remain.

+
+    :::note
+
+    For step-by-step instructions, see [How to uninstall AdGuard for Windows](/adguard-for-windows/installation#uninstall).
+
+    :::
+
+1. Install the previous version. You can find the download link in the *Assets* section of the latest stable v7 release [on GitHub](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/releases/tag/v7.22.9).
+
+1. Exit version 7 from the system tray to stop filtering.
+
+1. Extract the contents of the ZIP file from step 2 and replace the following files:
+
+    - `adguard.db` → `C:\ProgramData\Adguard` — main settings database, including filters and custom rules
+    - `agflm_dns.db` → `C:\ProgramData\Adguard\FLM` — DNS filter database
+    - `agflm_standard.db` → `C:\ProgramData\Adguard\FLM` — standard filter database
+
+1. Launch AdGuard. Version 7 will start with your previous settings restored.
