I am unable to uninstall or configure PowerToys
I've installed using Microsoft Store link, but after that I couldn't find any shortcuts in Start or any ways to configure the power toys.
I've installed using the github installer and then uninstalled that version, this did not help.
Right now I press ctrl twice and I get the mouse cursor spotlight, but I have no way to disable it
Powertoys are not listed in:

  1. Start Menu
  2. "Installed Apps"
  3. Microsoft Store in Library
  4. when I find PowerToys in Microsoft Store the button says Install

I am unable to see any processes that I could check to find where it's running exactly
