I am also experiencing the same progmen as SWN-002. I am unable to uninstall, modify or repair. I also cannot use the .exe provided on the GH releases page, nor update powertoys from its own settings page.
Edit: I was able to launch the .exe installer found on GH releases corresponding to the currently installed version using cmd and passing the
--extract_msiflag. Note the underscore rather than a traditional dash. From there, I was able to point the uninstaller to the directory containing the newly extracted .msi and complete the uninstallation process.Cordially pinging @SWN-002 @grither @brian6932 ☝️
Go to control panel, instead of uninstall select change, then click in the option to remove. That works for me
