Export Installer Name Issue

To all good people in this forum,

I've finished creating my first game, targeted for Windows only ATM.

I am able to export the project as Windows installer but there are many things that doesn't work as expected:

1. Program name, after installed in the Windows, is "Made with Game Maker Studio 2" which isn't ideal. I've tried changing the name in Windows setting with no success

2. Program icon is wrong, I've already replaced the game icon in Windows setting with no success

Can anyone please help me solve these problems? Or perhaps can hint me through a past thread, since I could hardly find one, possibly using the wrong keyword too.

Change the file name. Does the icon show up now? If so, Windows' icon cache says hi. Icons are cached to speed up performance and are associated by file paths. You can fix that by clearing the icon cache.

Chances are the name is cached as well, so try uninstalling the thing, clearing every last trace of it, and installing it again.
