That being said, if you don’t have a Logitech keyboard or mouse, then you can most definitely uninstall Logitech Options. You can kill the LogiOptionsMgr.exe (UNICODE) and LogiOptions.exe (UNICODE) processes if you are no longer using your Logitech peripherals, and really, you should. There’s no reason to have more processes running than are necessary. Admittedly, in the grand scheme of things, LogiOptionsMgr.exe (UNICODE) has a relatively small footprint of just 3.2 MB. To uninstall LogiOptionsMgr.exe (UNICODE), you can remove Logitech Options from Programs and Features. Right-click the Windows button and click Programs and Features. Remove Logitech Options and reclaim approximately 52 MB of space.
If you can’t remove Logitech Options from Programs and Features, delete it from the folder C:\ProgramData\Logishrd\LogiOptions\Software\Current
The LogiOptions.exe process lives in C:\Program Files\Logitech\LogiOptions
If you do have a Logitech peripheral and it’s acting erratically, try uninstalling Logitech Options and reinstalling the latest version from the Logitech website. There have been compatibility issues with other programs that caused LogiOptions.exe or LogiOptionsMgr.exe to crash repeatedly or function incorrectly. Version: 2.30.56 released on July 29, 2015, is the version that added Windows 10 support.
