My previous version never showed up in the app list but was still an executable.

I just re-installed Audacity without problems - version 3.0.2 and this time around I see that Audacity pops up in the list of installed programs. Did it really kill the entire Audacity installation? I remember using Audacity just two weeks ago and did certainly not uninstall it. According to the updated log the last update was KB4023057 - and it seems this update has the authority to remove registry keys that may conflict with future updates and do several other adjustments and repairs behind the scenes. I just experienced the same - Audacity was suddenly gone completely from my PC - currently running Win build 19041.928.
