Change or Remove Button Missing at Control Panel Add or Remove Programs
One of the most common programs that does this is the Intel Audio Studio.
This solution requires registry modification. So becareful not to change anything else.

1. Go to Start > Run

2. Type regedit and click OK

3. Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{Program Name}
Note that as the {program name} may be a CLSID, you may need to search for the product name (e.g. “Intel Audio Studio”, using what you saw in Add/Remove) to locate the correct entry.

4. If you see NoRemove with the data 0×00000001 (1), that means the remove button will be unavailable. If you also see NoModify with the data 0×00000001 (1), that means the change button will be unavailable.

5. Simply double click on the NoRemove or NoModify name and change the value data to 0 (number zero). If Add or Remove Programs is open, close it and reopen again. The Change/Remove button should now appear.
