Running npx hint https://example.com on Windows fails with: No installation found for: "Any supported browsers"

🐛 Bug report

Description

Running npx hint https://example.com on Windows fails with:

This happens even though Microsoft Edge (Chromium) or Chrome is installed and working.
It seems like the browser detection logic does not look in per-user install paths (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%) and only checks system-wide installs.
Installing Chrome system-wide makes the issue disappear, which supports this theory.

Environment

• webhint version: npx hint --version → e.g. 7.x.x
• Browser version:
  • Microsoft Edge (Chromium) ~139, installed per-user (not system-wide)
  • Google Chrome ~128, installed per-user
• URL for which webhint failed: Any public URL, e.g. https://example.com

I'd like to work on it, can you assign it to me?
