Research direction
The bug is in the Windows settings plugin. Likely involves the mapping of query strings to URI paths. The relevant code is probably in a file like `Plugins/WindowsSettings/...`. Check the URI mapping logic to ensure 'uninstall' redirects to the correct settings page (ms settings:appsfeatures). Also review any recent changes that may have altered the behavior.
