Hello again, 1P_Gem,
Thank you for the detail of how to recover this. I did attempt to do the steps you outlined. However, I was not successful in resolving the issue. The process described in the link you send does not resolve this situation. Also, I don't think I explained the situation adequately.
I am aware that each Windows user can only access one 1Password account and/or Family user (but I can log in to My.1Password.com as either 1P User). The total situation is:
* My primary Windows user is, say, 'John' and the 1Password user is, say, '1P-john'.
* My secondary Windows user is 'Bob' and the 1Password user is '1P-Bob'
* In the year 2021 1P v7.9.828 was installed. At the time I had both '1P-John' and '1P-Bob' up and running on my Family account.
* Sometime later, while logged in to the Windows 'John' account 1P was updated to v7.9.833. And then on 06-13-2023 1P v8 was installed in the 'John' account. All indications are that '1P-John' was fully functional.
* I later logged in to the 'Bob' account and attempted to run 1P. 1P was not found in the Start menu.
* I attempted to install 1P v8 in the 'Bob' account. That when I encountered the situation in my first post. The 1P v8 installer reported that I needed to first update to 1P v7.9.833. But 1P v7 was no longer installed, But it is listed as installed in Windows Control Panel and Settings.
* Since the 'John' user was running 1P v8.10.7, I did not want to try and install v7.9.833. Instead, I tried to uninstall 1P while in the 'Bob' account. But Windows reported that the program was not found. But when I tried to install v8.10.7, it thinks v7.9.828 is still installed.
So now user 'John' is able to run v8.10.7 and all looks normal, but user 'Bob' has remnants of v7.9.828, that it seems must be removed. As you see from the message Windows displayed when I tried to uninstall 1P from the Control Panel it seem to I should allow Windows to remove 1Password from the list of installed programs.
There is something about how Windows manages applications installed globally or for multiple windows users that are not handled adequately. I will try again and allow Windows to remove the 1Password from the programs list and see if that solves the situation.
