    Description

      I found in this URL a beta installer to test QtIFW, download it, and run it on Windows 10 from an administrator account.

      Then I switched to a non-administrative account and tried to uninstall the program, however, the program installed from the other account was not listed, the same thing happens with Qt Creator (it is not listed either).

      Some programs like chrome, firefox, etc are installed for all users and are visible from all accounts but when trying to uninstall they ask for an administrator password.

      In the case of QtIFW, it seems that it saves the information in the Windows System Registry per user, so it is not listed from other accounts, which is a problem, although it is true that it is possible to add direct access for all the users of the system, it is not It is possible to access the uninstaller from the control panel from a non-administrative account.

      Another thing to notice is that if you install from a non-administrative account it asks for the administrator password to elevate privileges and yet it is not listed under the non-administrative account in the control panel either.
