uninstalling tap-windows in add/remove leaves the driver installed

C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\bin>sc query tap0901

SERVICE_NAME: tap0901
        TYPE               : 1  KERNEL_DRIVER
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING

Prior to running "tapinstall.exe remove tap0901" was the tap0901 service running? Were any services that depended on the tap0901 service running? For example, OpenVPNService depends on tap0901 service.
