I uninstalled then reinstalled using the MSIX; now missing from Programs and Features. Expected?

I just uninstalled then reinstalled using the MSIX. 1Password is now missing from Programs and Features. Is this expected behavior? Should I be concerned?

I went there to check the version, but was surprised that it wasn't there. It was definitely running, though... the 1Password icon was in the system tray.

I am an administrator using 1Password in a Horizon environment, so this installation was done in my "golden image."

    EDIT: I applied the image to my VM pool and now 1Password (desktop app) won't run. I am guessing that by using the .MSIX installer I installed it only for the account I was using in the image when I installed it... that I did not install it "machine wide."  Can someone clarify, please? Am I supposed to still use the machine-wide .msi installer in my environment?

      Hello CraigD​​! Thanks so much for sending over this inquiry. MSIX, by default, are intended to be installed on a per-user basis and not machine-wide.

      If you are familiar with it, you can use PowerShell to install 1Password machine-wide using the MSIX. If you aren't comfortable using PowerShell, I recommend re-installing 1Password using the MSI installer, which installs 1Password device-wide.

      Hope this helps!
