When I tried to upgrade my W81.1 pc to W10, I found a problem with Uxtyle, because I was unable to uninstall it. So, I went to Google search ... and I found the solution at Github, riverar/Uxstyle (https://github.com/riverar/uxstyle/issues/16) (13th comment) in only two steps:

CAUTION!!!!!: Make sure you have applied an official windows theme, before doing all these steps. Don't do it with an unsigned theme applied.

1.- Run these commands in an elevated cmd:

First: sc delete uxstyle
Second: sc delete UnsignedThemes

2.- Use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove Uxstyle.
( It's difficult to find this tool, because, right now, has no officially support.
Here is the link, where I downloaded it:

Windows Installer Cleanup Utillity (http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_installer_cleanup_utility.html) )


After these two steps, I was able to delete Uxstyle from my panel control-programs. I cleaned my "temp" files and ran Ccleaner. Restarted my pc , and ... voilĂ*!! : Uxstyle was deleted and I was able to install the W10-Uxstyle preview version :Peace:

(But W10 crashed my Realtek- Ethernet : I know is a common problem ... but I went back to W8.1)
