Can you share the output of winget list "ShareX"?

Can you share the output of winget list "ShareX"?

To show it is only there once, sure:

this is entirely because it was accidentally twice on the commandline (I meant kicad.kicad to be on there and copy and paste error still had ShareX.ShareX in buffer).
