As per the issue description you are willing to uninstall program through command prompt. If you think that there are some traces of uninstalled program which is causing the issue then you may try to run the Autoruns and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

Let’s Download and run Microsoft AutoRuns utility to remove all the obsolete traces in registry for the uninstalled programs. Autoruns has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys.
