Unknown origin of Cypress, no uninstaller, not a node user

[TilKenneth]

Current behavior

Cypress 10.11.0 existing on my computer, filetimes claim since 25.07.2023 (dd.mm.yyyy).

Desired behavior

In this situation, as expected, a) uninstall.exe, b) uninstallable entry in currently "Installed Apps", formerly 'Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features'.

Cypres.exe does have a digital signatur (‎thumbprint: 1961d209c4d95ab0940b056f312f0aded17b0f15, Validity from ‎tue ‎15. ‎juni ‎2021 16:31:48, to ‎fri ‎14. ‎juni ‎2024 16:31:48), but its the same name.

Test code to reproduce

Browsing C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\10.11.0\Cypress.

Cypress Version

10.11.0

Node version

I don't node.

Operating System

Microsoft Windows Version 10.0.22631.4317

Debug Logs

I need to know how (by your own tools/uninstaller), or where to clean up, what filenames to look for, registry changes (unknowingly may be changed).

Other

I don't do node, the only node I know i have "touched" is locked safely inside inside a docker-container, and that isnt running most of the time.

Don't know where your product came from (into my pc), why, who, or really when, via what. I don't know about your product, except no uninstall.exe, for all I know you have a good product, if the number of issues is a fair enough metric to go by, actively enough used.

I dont do yarn, gem, gum, nim, npm, mnp ...etc, Re #29478 to https://docs.cypress.io/guides/getting-started/installing-cypress#Installing

But I am not a voluntary user. Thanks in advance for understanding.
