Can't uninstall Power Toys

I had trouble updating Power Toys, so I downloaded the installer. The installer won't work because Power Toys is already installed. However, it doesn't show up in my app list, so an uninstaller can't find it. I tried to restore the system from a disc image, but that didn't even get started. How can I get out of this situation?

    Are you able to run Powershell from %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder?

    Thanks, Roger. Return to this path, copy the shortcut then open Programs folder and replace the other Powershell icon.

    Roger, according to the error, the path is: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows PowerShell

    One of the shortcuts listed here is not working and must be replaced. Test everyone and let me know which one is not working, please.
