    Experiencing the same issue as reported in https://bugs.python.org/issue31011

    When Python is deployed using an enterprise solution, Python is not displayed in Programs and Features.

    Examples:

    1. Using PSExec as System to install Python 3.10.x, logged in users will not see Python installed. The Python launcher does appear however.

    2. Deployment of Python through SCCM has the same behavior, where logged in users do not see the installed Python version in Programs and Features.

    Thanks. This is being tracked in bpo-25166, and is waiting on a fix from our installer toolset, who have previously indicated that they're not interested in fixing it, but wouldn't rule it out in their next major version.
