does it appear in the list of the Windows installed applications list
(Windows parameters menu)?
I just verified: that's the only thing I installed in the Win10 guest

Most virsh commands require root privileges to run due to the
communications channels used to talk to the hypervisor. Running as non
root will return an error.
