For installation instructions, see Installing nRF Connect for Desktop apps.
Note
From version 4.0.0, the Bluetooth Low Energy app is installed as a standalone application, for reasons of driver compatibility. The application functionality remains the same, and a proxy app is used from nRF Connect for Desktop. A desktop shortcut is also created automatically during the install process.
To receive information on updated versions, you are recommended to use nRF Connect for Desktop to install, open and update the application. However, nRF Connect for Desktop's Uninstall removes only the proxy app and Create shortcut is no longer necessary, as a shortcut is automatically created.
To uninstall the app, follow the steps appropriate for your operating system:
-
Windows: Open Control Panel and navigate to Uninstall a program. Find nRF Connect for Desktop Bluetooth Low Energy app v4.0.0 and proceed to uninstall the application.
-
