      Ubisoft replaced uPlay by Ubisoft Connect.
      The entry in the Windows 10 Start menu is called Ubisoft Connect.
      So please mark uPlay as EOL.

      Here the version info from the EXE:

      File name and path:     C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\UbisoftConnect.exe
      Product Name:           Ubisoft Connect
      Internal Name:          Ubisoft Connect
      Original Filename:      UbisoftConnect.exe
      
      File Description:       Ubisoft Connect
      Company:                Ubisoft
      Legal Copyright:        (c) Ubisoft
      Legal Trademarks:       
      Comments:               
      
      File Version String:    1.0
      File Version:           2.0.0.0
      Product Version String: 2.0.0
      Product Version:        2.0.0.0
      

      Here the icon:
      UbisoftConnect_Icon.png

      Note
      In the application I have no version information.

        @OLLI_S I did not see anything official about Uplay being EoL, though I can see many that assume this, do you have a link to a blog post or something else that I missed?

        I found this:
        https://support.ubisoft.com/en-US/faqs/58911

        This, in my opinion, indicates that not all games are moved to Ubisoft Connect, thus it indicates that Uplay is still maintained - but I may be wrong.

        Ubisoft Connect is now added.

          @Tom You are right.
          On my PC I still have both applications installed in the start menu:

          d8b8d9cd-2edc-4a1d-93c4-23980f74803d-image.png

          And also both EXE files are still present.
          But uPay is no longer shown although the EXE file is still present:

          File name and path:     C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\Uplay.exe
          Product Name:           Uplay
          Internal Name:          Uplay game launcher
          Original Filename:      Uplay.exe
          
          File Description:       Uplay launcher

          File Version String:    1.0
          File Version:           1.0.1.0
          Product Version String: 1.0.1
          Product Version:        1.0.1.0

            @OLLI_S That's interesting, they changed the product name in the UplayService.exe file, which is the one we detect it on - for some reason we decided to use the service file back in the days, rather than the Uplay.exe - probably due to the lack of useful version information in Uplay.exe.

            Please test it, both products should be detected again.

              The strange thing is: when I start uPay, then uplay.exe is starts Ubisoft Connect automatically.

                @OLLI_S Well, if you find some official information that states that this is now one and the same program, then we will add a bundling specification to this and start treating it as one program.

                  When I read this article then I would say that Ubisoft Connect will replace uPlay:
                  https://support.ubisoft.com/en-US/Article/000074728

                  And this is the reason why Ubisoft Connect is launched when you start uPlay.

                      @Tom What did you exactly fix?
                      Currently Connect is detected.

                        @OLLI_S Yes, Connect now bundles Uplay, as Uplay doesn't appear to be a separate product any longer.

                          Oh, the business UI does not show bundles yet, so I did not see that....

                            OK, then I mark this issue as solved.
