How to completely uninstall Logi Options+ on Windows

Logitech's complete Windows uninstallation procedure covers both Logitech Options and Logi Options+. It removes the main program, LogiPluginService, temporary files, hidden folders, driver files and registry entries.

Remove the Logi Options+ application

Remove the main application in either place:

  • Open Add or Remove Programs and uninstall Logitech Options/+ if present.
  • In Windows Settings, open Apps > Installed app, click the three dots [. . .] next to Logi Options+ and select Uninstall.

Delete LogiPluginService

Uninstalling the main program leaves LogiPluginService folders behind:

  • Press the Windows Start key and R to open Run, type %appdata% and click OK.
  • Open the Local folder and delete the Logi folder.
  • Open Run, type %programdata% and delete the Logi folder there to remove LogiPluginService.

The user plugin service path is:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Logi\LogiPluginService

Clean up temporary files and show hidden folders

Before deleting remnant folders, clear temporary files and reveal hidden items:

  • Open the Windows app Delete Temporary Files, select Temporary file and wait for the scan.
  • Make sure Downloads is not checked, click Remove files and wait for cleanup to finish.
  • In File Explorer, click the View tab and select Options.
  • In Folder Options, open the View tab, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives under Advanced settings and click OK.

Delete remnant folders, driver files and registry keys

With hidden items visible, remove the remaining folders, .dll files and registry entries:

  • Open Run (Win+R), type %appdata%, open Logishrd and delete LogiOptions or LogiOptionsPlus.
  • Repeat for %programdata% and delete LogiOptions or LogiOptionsPlus from Logishrd.
  • Open Run, paste the DriverStore path below, and delete LdaCx2.dll and LogiLDA.DLL.
  • Open Run, paste C:\Windows\System32\ and delete LogiLDA.DLL.
  • Open Run, type regedit.exe and navigate to the Uninstall registry path below.
  • Delete the LogiOptions or LogiOptionsPlus folder there and close Registry Editor.
  • Restart your computer and install any available Windows updates.

Use these paths in Run and Registry Editor:

C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\unifhid.inf_amd64_3994342584154151\x64
C:\Windows\System32\

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\LogiOptions or LogiOptionsPlus folder

How to completely uninstall Logi Options+ on macOS

The Logi Options+ Offline Manual says you can uninstall the app by opening Applications and dragging Options+ onto the Bin. To remove Logitech Options or Options+ completely, with its background services and remnant files, clean up /Applications, /Library and ~/Library in Finder.

Search and trash Logitech files in Finder

  • Open Finder, click Go > Go to Folder, type /Library and press Enter.
  • Type Logitech in the search bar and click Library next to the search field to narrow the search.
  • Right-click all Logitech files and select Move to Trash.
  • Repeat the Go to Folder search and trash steps for ~/Library in your Home Folder.

Delete macOS remnant bundles and Library subfolders

Check these paths for remnant files:

/Applications/Utilities/LogiPluginService.app
~/Applications/Utilities/LogiPluginService.app
/Applications/Utilities/Logi Options+ Driver Installer.bundle

Also delete LogiPluginService from /Applications, and delete Logitech files from both /Library and ~/Library in every location below:

System library pathUser library path
/Library~/Library
/Library/Application Support~/Library/Application Support
/Library/Preferences~/Library/Preferences
/Library/Caches~/Library/Caches
/Library/LaunchAgents~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons~/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Application Support/Logi/LogiPluginService~/Library/Application Support/Logi/LogiPluginService
/Library/PreferencePanes~/Library/PreferencePanes
/Library/StartupItems~/Library/StartupItems

After deleting all files:

  • Restart your Mac and make sure macOS is updated to the latest release.
  • If you reinstall Logitech Options or Options+ later, configure macOS permissions after installation so it works properly.

What uninstalling Logi Options+ does to your devices and offline installs

Check how uninstallation affects your Logitech hardware and offline installer upgrades before removing the app.

Effects on the MX Creative Console and MX Keypad

Logitech's support page says Logitech software is required to use both devices:

  • Without Logi Options+, the MX Keypad cannot be used, and the MX Creative Console dialpad only supports a very limited set of basic actions.
  • The Logi Plugin Service powers both devices, all plugins and the marketplace.
  • The service only activates when you connect the MX Creative Console or MX Keypad to your computer.

The MX Creative Console needs Logi Options+ 1.83 or later, and the MX Keypad needs 2.07 or later. Both run on Windows 10 and later or macOS 13 and later. Windows systems with ARM 64 processors are not supported. Logi Options+ supports 19 languages, but the Console and Keypad configurator supports English, French, German, Japanese, Italian and Spanish. The default profile and the pre-installed system plugin work without logging in. Downloading other plugins or installing other application profiles requires a Logi ID.

Offline installer upgrades vs switching to the online version

Logitech's offline installer is for computers that are offline and have no direct access to the internet. On Windows it is logioptionsplus_installer_offline.exe, at about 750 MB. On macOS it is logioptionsplus_installer_offline.zip, at about 800 MB. Like the online version, it needs administrator rights, which Windows uses for driver and virtual device setup.

  • To upgrade an older offline installation, leave it installed and run the newer offline installer over it.
  • Logitech calls this an over-install, and no settings or paired devices are lost.
  • To switch to the online version, you currently need to uninstall the offline version first and then install the online version.
  • The manual also notes that a silent install with the Update parameter set to yes allows updates to be checked.

Legacy Logitech software that has reached end of support

Logitech notes that these older utilities are no longer supported:

  • Logitech Options, Presentation software, Firmware Update Tool and Logitech Preference Manager.
  • Logitech Control Center, Logitech Connection Utility, Unifying Software and SetPoint software.
  • Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) has been succeeded by G HUB for all new devices since 2019.
  • Logitech says all LGS installation files, download links and support documentation are permanently removed from its website from October 31, 2026.

Keep using the MX Creative Keypad after uninstalling, with Orbtile

Logitech says the MX Keypad cannot be used without Logi Options+. Orbtile is a separate route: it drives the Logitech MX Creative Keypad directly over USB as a live status pad for AI coding agents. The standalone MX Keypad is the same keypad and works the same way. Logi Options+ is not required.

You can uninstall Logi Options+ completely, or keep it installed for your other Logitech devices. Orbtile only takes over the keypad. On a Mac, the dialpad keeps working with Options+ the whole time. When both are installed, your Options+ keypad profile pauses while Orbtile is in control. Options+ gets the keypad back when you:

  • Quit Orbtile, or choose Give Keypad to Options+ in the Mac menu bar or Windows system tray.
  • Press Control-Option-Command-K on Mac or Ctrl+Alt+Win+K on Windows.
  • Hold both page buttons below the LCD keys for 1.5 seconds.

Orbtile runs on macOS 14.0 Sonoma or later on Apple silicon (M1 or later), or Windows 11 (x64). Orbtile Mobile also turns an iPhone (App Store, iOS 17+) or Android phone (Android 8.0+) into the same status pad over your local network.

  • Keys 1 to 8 each show one session from Claude Code, Codex, ZCode, the Antigravity desktop app or Kimi Code.
  • Each session key shows the session name, state and latest words over an animated Frosted orb.
  • Waiting sessions move to the front.
  • Key 9 summarises all sessions, and tapping it focuses the first waiting session.
  • Hold a session key for 0.6 seconds to open Focus mode across all nine keys.
  • For local permission requests, press Deny on key 7 or hold Allow on key 9 for 0.6 seconds.
  • Codex terminal command approvals offer Allow only on the keys, so decline them in the terminal.
  • For supported multiple-choice questions, pick options on keys 1, 2, 3 and 7, then hold Send on key 9.
  • Kimi Code questions work this way in Kimi's own server, started with kimi web, kimi rc or /rc.
  • Antigravity IDE and CLI sessions do not appear automatically.
  • Antigravity permission prompts and written answers stay on your computer.
  • Remote sessions over SSH are display-only, except Allow for Codex terminal command approvals.
