How to uninstall Xiaomi MIUI+ on Windows

MIUI+ (Xiaomi's phone-to-PC app) keeps your phone's data on the phone and your Xiaomi account; files you dragged from the phone to this PC stay wherever you saved them. The part to plan for is what it installs alongside itself: a shared Xiaomi component called MiService, which its uninstaller does not remove. This guide covers MIUI+ installed machine-wide from the Xiaomi.MIUI+ winget package.

Quit MIUI+ first

MIUI+ starts at sign-in through a machine-wide startup entry, shown in Settings › Apps › Startup, and runs a service, MAFSvr, which shows in Mole's Startup list. Disconnect your phone, quit MIUI+ from its tray icon, and check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for AIoT or MiScreenShareGuide still listed before you uninstall.

Remove the app with its own uninstaller

Go to Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find MIUI+, and choose Uninstall, or run:

winget uninstall --id Xiaomi.MIUI+

The app is installed machine-wide, so Windows asks for administrator access. Xiaomi's uninstaller opens its own window: click Uninstall, confirm that MIUI+ will no longer be usable, click Complete, and then choose whether to restart now or later. It removes the program folder under Program Files\MI\AIoT, the startup entry, the MAFSvr service and the shortcuts.

What stays after the uninstall

Location	What it holds	What to do
MiService, with its own entry in Settings › Apps › Installed apps	A Xiaomi background service installed with MIUI+, still set to start automatically	Uninstall it from Installed apps if no other Xiaomi app on this PC needs it
`%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Timi Personal Computing\MiService` and `%ProgramData%\Timi Personal Computing\MiService`	MiService's program and data	Its own uninstaller handles these
The `MiService` shortcut in the Start Menu	MiService's shortcut	Goes with MiService
`%ProgramData%\MI`	Privacy agreement state and file-drop service data	Safe to remove once no Xiaomi app is installed
`%APPDATA%\MI`	Per-user Xiaomi app data	Safe to remove once no Xiaomi app is installed
`HKCU\Software\MI`, `HKCU\Software\Mi_SSO` and `HKCU\Software\Timi Personal Computing`	Settings and Xiaomi sign-in keys	Safe to remove once no Xiaomi app is installed
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\onetrack`	A usage statistics data file	Safe to remove once no Xiaomi app is installed

Check the result

Run these read-only commands after the uninstall finishes:

Get-Process AIoT, MiScreenShareGuide -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
winget list --id Xiaomi.MIUI+
Test-Path "$env:ProgramFiles\MI\AIoT"
Get-CimInstance Win32_Service | Where-Object PathName -like "*Timi Personal Computing*"
Test-Path "$env:ProgramData\MI"
Test-Path "HKCU:\Software\Mi_SSO"

No output from Get-Process only means this query observed no matching process; a suppressed error leaves the running state unknown.
A completed winget list query with no match means the package record is gone; a matching row means the uninstall did not finish.
Test-Path on AIoT returning False means the program folder is gone.
A service listed by Get-CimInstance is MiService, still installed; uninstall it separately if you do not need it.
The last two returning True mean Xiaomi's shared data and sign-in key are still there.

If you installed it with winget

winget uninstall runs the same Xiaomi uninstaller Settings › Apps uses, with the same window; it does not remove MiService or the shared Xiaomi folders.

Account

Uninstalling does not sign you out of your Xiaomi account.

What Mole lists

For MIUI+ installed machine-wide from winget:

The Start Menu shortcut in the 小米 folder and the public desktop shortcut are selected by default; in this test the uninstaller had already deleted both.
MiService and the shared Xiaomi folders and keys above are not listed with MIUI+, since other Xiaomi apps use them.

What this test covered

Tested on September 27, 2026 with MIUI+ 2.5.5.643 installed through winget, machine scope, and removed with Xiaomi's own uninstaller window, choosing to restart later. The MAFSvr service was still running, so it was stopped before the uninstaller ran. Not verified: a connected phone, or a signed-in Xiaomi account.
