My Win Locker

since running an update on my Windows 10 My Win Locker (Egis) is creating problems. every time I switch on my equipment a window appears saying updates unavailable. this has been happening for nearly a week how do I update or get rid of it. i have tried going into My control panel clicking on MY Win Locker and has tried both to amend or uninstall. Again a message appears saying unable to take this action as another programme is running. How do I correct this issue please..

    Try booting into safe mode before uninstalling.
  • My technical expertese is very limited. What is safe mode. What steps do I need to take to get into Safe mode to unistall My Win Locker and do I need to go back to my original settings once unistalled or do I stay in Safe Mode.
