The problem with these instructions is that when I go to “Apps and Features” on Windows (Windows 10.0.19045.0), “Katalon Studio” isn’t in the list. I just installed Katalon 10.1.1, using the official installer from Katalon Studio Download | Katalon; but when I installed 10.1.1, it didn’t automatically uninstall Katalon 9, so now I’m trying to manually uninstall v9. But there’s nothing “Katalon” in the “Apps and Features” list. It shows the other apps I’ve installed, but Katalon isn’t there. When I start typing “katalon” into the filter box, the list goes empty as soon as I’ve typed “kat”.
