Repair not showing under Programs and Features

I'm using Windows 10. Windows uninstall registry looks like this:

"NoModify"=dword:00000000
"NoRepair"=dword:00000000
"ModifyPath"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\My Program\\uninstall.exe\" /REPAIR"
"UninstallString"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\My Program\\uninstall.exe"

It lists "Uninstall" and "Change" for my program under "Programs and Features" but no Repair option. If I just change NoModify to 1 and leave NoRepair at 0, it just shows "Uninstall".

Has anyone an idea why this isn't working ?

Thanks, martino

Don't know, but a quick google search found this post with the same issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/wix/mailman/message/26692819/.

This part of Windows was rewritten in v10 as a horrible modern app and is somewhat buggy and not 100% compatible with the old control panel version but I don't think it matters in this case because repair only works for MSIs no matter which Windows version you are on?
