I hasn't been called "Add/Remove Programs" since the XP days if I'm not mistaken. From Vista forward, it's called "Programs and features".
When I hit Start and start typing "prog", it appears as the second entry (the first one being "Default Programs").
Then again, this whole mess is dynamic. When I start typing "uni", I don't get "App or remove programs" at all. If I type "unin", then I get "App and features", which is the Metro-fied uninstaller (which I had forgotten all about - yuck).
Nobody can convince me that searching beats a well-organized menu. I have systems (fast systems) on which I can type the whole name of the shortcut, and I still have to wait a number of seconds after that for it to get displayed before I can click on it.

Or you can just type "add remove" in the start menu or Cortana.

As far as I can tell this only brings up the metro-fied version of the uninstaller. I much prefer the 'traditional' one - it's much faster to get started and get the whole list than the metro abomination.

Only took mine about 4 seconds to get the specific file I looked for to uninstall.
But I wonder why the "new fangled" one takes even 4 seconds to load. Maybe because it is getting more information. Who knows.

I've been reaching this panel for years now using command-line fu. Press Win+R, type appwiz.cpl, hit Enter. Viola!

Yes. Windows 10 seems like it has a mind of its own.
For some reason windows explorer will always be on top, so when I open new instances of windows explorer they go behind what I DON'T want to see. 
But yes Kaspersky 15 blew up when I upgraded my older i5 laptop and luckily I had a 16 license as they say its Win10 compliant.

Weird...it works for me.
"Settings" in start menu search works (Settings [Trusted Windows Store App] comes up).
Search "Add Remove" in start menu brings up "Add or Remove Programs"
Search "add" inside settings (where it says "Search settings") shows "Add or remove programs" in the list.
That said, Windows has a mind of its own often times, I have no doubt it wasn't working for you. Perhaps it was still indexing all the apps and such on the system? I know at the beginning after I installed Windows I saw it say that results might be incomplete until indexing is done somewhere.

It does - but that isn't what I tried.
Go into the "Settings" app, and use the search box there...it only finds "add or remove programs" if the search string contains none of the letters in the text...

The third search I listed in my reply is inside the Settings app. It brings up "add or remove programs" if I type in any of those words.

That's the problem with the whole concept of searching the file system to find the app you want -- you have to know what the developer called it before you can find it. Windows is a lot of things, but one of them is that its light years ahead of linux when it comes to naming applications. It sucks that you had to search for uninstall to find a tool for removing programs, but it could have been worse. Whatever giant snakes have to do with installing drivers, and musical genres have to do with file sharing, still eludes me.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I think it's a bit predictable - the All Blacks are just awesome!
But as to the opposition? Could be Oz (which would be interesting) or Ireland (which would be a great game) IMO - but I suspect it'll be NZ beating Oz by 10+ points.

I'd luv to see Ireland in the finals, but you are right NZ and Oz (Australia?) played very good, but was it South Africa playing that mashed muricas face 64 ? I mean they are totally in the game.
I'd predict SA - NZ and IRE - Aussies
going for SA - IRE :P

Oh ok - that!
I was comparing rugby to another sport the English invented - cricket.
They do wear 'cushions' (or pads) in it.

That's a whole different thing 
I mean Rugby and AF have at least some things in common
