Are you Windows Admin user account?
Are you trying legacy Norton Remove and Reinstall Tool https://norton.com/nrnr?

Note: with my Norton 360 v26.x → NRnR Tool calls

=======================================

What happens when you Download and run the Norton 360 Remover tool for Windows → Remove only?
Do you have Norton Family?

=======================================

If the NRnR tool does not work, try these advanced steps:

  • Safe Mode Uninstallation: Restart Windows 10 in Safe Mode and then run the NRnR tool. This prevents Norton’s active processes from blocking the removal.
  • Third-Party Uninstallers: Use specialized software like Revo Uninstaller (free version). These tools can force-close hung processes and scan for “leftover” files and registry keys that the official uninstaller might miss.
  • Manual Registry Cleanup (Advanced): As a last resort, use the Registry Editor (regedit) to search for and delete keys associated with “Norton” or “Symantec”.
    • Warning: Incorrectly editing the registry can damage your operating system.

After Uninstallation
Once removed, ensure your Windows Defender is active to maintain protection. You may need to run a “clean boot” to ensure all background Norton processes are fully terminated.

Microsoft has announced it will continue to update Microsoft Defender Antivirus on Windows 10 through October 2028. source

The new Norton Remover tool does not work well with the older 22.x.x.x versions of 360.

Download and run the older Norton removal and reinstall tool from www.norton.com/nrnr . It is advisable to use the Advanced Options > Remove Only feature to get a cleaner uninstall.

Thank you for your reply. First note that I have a license for 10 subscriptions for Norton 360 Deluxe that I purchased through Amazon and installed 2 of those subscriptions with no issues. I noted that I had Windows 10, but I have Windows 11. I do not have Norton Family. I tried the Remover and loading the Safe Mode. All with no change in the outcome. I have tried downloading a new version of Norton 360 Deluxe some 30+ times after rebooting / turning the machine off, waiting for the installation to finish, loaded up the Control Panel and tried to uninstall the Norton 360 from there. In addition, I even tried to uninstall my Norton Ultimate Utilities, but it did not uninstall. FYI the computer with the problem is the same model as one above where the installation was successful. I will try the NRNR address you mention in your comments.. Perhaps that will make a difference.
