Platforms

All Steam libraries are found automatically, including games installed on secondary drives. No paths need to be configured manually.

What happens when a user tries to uninstall

Steam closes automatically. Within a few seconds it reopens and the game is still in the library, ready to play. There is no error message and no visible failure. The game is just there again.

New game auto-lock

When a new game is installed on Steam, it's detected automatically. On paid plans, it's added to the protected list and locked without any manual action needed.

Epic Games stores a data file for each installed game in a fixed system location. These are read automatically to detect your games. The actual game files can be on any drive.

What happens when a user tries to uninstall

Epic Games shows an Uninstall Failed error with two options: Restart or Cancel.

• If they click Restart: Another error appears immediately. The uninstall still cannot complete.
• If they click Cancel: The dialog closes and the game entry in the library now shows a Repair button instead of Launch. Clicking Repair causes Epic Games to verify the game files already on disk. Since all files are intact, this finishes in seconds and the Launch button reappears.

The game is never actually removed. The Repair step is just Epic Games confirming the files are all there.

Game updates

Game updates work normally. Protection does not interfere. See How It Works for details.

Riot Games manages all its games through a shared launcher. Riot Games' metadata is read to find each game's actual install location, and protection is applied to each title individually.

What happens when a user tries to uninstall

Riot Games has no uninstall option inside the launcher. The only path is through Windows Settings > Add or Remove Programs.

Via Add or Remove Programs: nothing happens for any account. The uninstall silently fails regardless of whether the account has admin rights. The game folder stays completely intact.

Via direct folder deletion (File Explorer or similar): standard user accounts are denied. Admin accounts can delete the folder by entering their Windows admin password when prompted.

The Clear Session button on each platform page wipes the logged-in accounts from that launcher so the next customer starts with a fresh login screen. Admin access is required.

What gets cleared per platform:

• Steam: login records, saved credentials, Steam Guard tokens, and per-user game data stored locally on the PC. The auto-login registry entry is also cleared so Steam opens to the login screen on next launch.
• Epic Games: the browser session cache (authentication cookies) and the saved "remember me" token so Epic Games opens to the login screen on next launch.
• Riot Games: the OAuth session token so the Riot Games opens to the login screen on next launch.
