Where is installed and how to uninstall it #28

First thing first I don't know what caused some weird problems on my windows, I cannot even be sure if the fault was this app I installed from Microsoft Store, I just had to uninstall temporary, being one of the last installed applications.

I think it would beneficial to know where this app gets installed (maybe a small section on the README.md with even manual/automatic install) and a small section on how to uninstall it or even a small note on this utility settings.

I personally found it weird it was impossible to uninstall it from the good old Control Pannel of Windows . I finally succeeded from System Settings -> App -> Installed Apps -> search for Caffeinated -> Uninstall

The app is installed as a packaged store app. To uninstall find "Caffeinated" in your Start menu list of all apps, right click, click uninstall. Or go system settings like you recommended.

Because this is a packaged app there is no recommended way to "manually uninstall" this app. The benefits of it being a packaged app is how self contained it is and does not put files in different spots like old Windows installers could and would.

Niiice, that's shorter solution, the more you know!

Thanks for the immediate answer, do you mind to add this small info on the README.md, please?
