Unfortunately, uninstallation isn't currently tested by the pipelines.

Edit: Testing in a Windows 10 VM, I couldn't replicate the issue.

I have it listed as installed twice, although I only installed it once:

> winget list | findstr Neovim
Neovim                                  Neovim.Neovim                            0.9.5                 0.10.0    winget
Neovim                                  Neovim.Neovim                            0.10.0                          winget

I uninstalled the 0.9.5 manually from the menu Start > Add and remove programs.

After doing so the uninstallation through winget worked.

This is not the first app that I found installed twice on my system. What's going on with these double installations?
