Note that it's not unique to Gyan.FFmpeg
Winget also failed to uninstall Vendicated.Vencord
Do you have more than one version present via winget list?
Can you share the log from running winget uninstall Gyan.FFmpeg --verbose-logs --logs

winget list?
Nope
Also, a few minutes ago I tried manually uninstalling FFmpeg via appwiz.cpl, but the uninstaller is stuck
