How to Fully Uninstall ShareX #7678

Hi, I hope someone can help me out here. I am trying to remove ShareX . I'm not sure how it got installed in the first place. I don't even know where it came from. It wasn't on my computer before. I tried to uninstall it in the control panel, but I noticed on the startup tab of task manager. File.net provided a couple of links for help 1) through STEAM [gaming site] = not helpful and 2) this [github] website. I'm not a gamer, just an old-timer trying to get by. So I've run all the normal scan & removal tools. As well as the DISM command-line tools and SFC scan which all looked good' Had some corrupt files that were repaired after SFC scan. I did find it [ sharex.exe ] under start (bottom left corner) where I could disable and uninstall it, but I don't see the program in add and remove programs either. It's only on the start up tab in task manager now. I did a search of my C: drive for it but have come up empty. Can anyone help me out? Have you heard of such madness?

Thanks In Advance For Your Help ! From one frustrated old dude - Zman

Having also this problem. I am convinced this software is not legit and makes everything possible so it cannot be uninstalled. Windows should retire it as soon as possible from their Windows store
