It's a known issue - only one instance is installed.  If you really only wanted one, you would remove them both then reinstall.

You can also delete entire folder from registry which is responsible for version 1.75:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Stardock Start10

Do not make a mistake and do not delete this folder responsible for version 1.8:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Stardock Start10™

I have same problem in windows 10 home 1909. I can't uninstall the start 10 1.75 version . But start 10 1.75 version is still working . I can't see it in control panel. If I install 1.80 version,  it is not success.

 

The 1.80 start 10 install application .  The words of application is garbled  text .  I use Traditional Chinese in windows 10.

 

Thanks.

All previous updates have been kind enough to cleanup old versions, as they should.

Removing the old registry key per zbigniewklos suggestion resolved the issue.
