What happened?

I cannot uninstall the configuration file. I uninstall and reinstall, and the config is as it was in previous install. I tried the above steps - uninstalling, deleting from program folder and user folder, also removing the registry entry under software.
Nothing helps.
I need to uninstall, and then do a clean install of Barrier, because right now, it stays stuck on barrier is starting. I'm on Windows 11 machine as server.

I had the same issue as @dzigner and my solution was the same as suggested by Taknok. Removing the regedit information was key to completely uninstalling.
