npm install cypress#9.5.4 --save-dev fails and instead install version 11.2.0 - node.js

Question

Good day dear community,
Issue:
We do require install Cypress version 9.5.4
Despite the fact we are following the Cypress documentation its installed version 11.2.0
This is a fresh installation, therefore there isn't a cache of previous versions interfering.
Package.Json shows that the version and its dependencies are version 9.5.4
The sequence of commands we performed is described in the section Steps
Steps
This command installs Node.js:
c: & cd \strains\node & msiexec /i node.msi /qb /l* Node.js-Install.log
Then we proceed to check the npm and node versions installed, to confirm installation went through:
npm -v; node -v
Now we proceed to install cypress now the dependencies were validated:
If(-NOT (Test-Path C:\Cypress)){mkdir C:\Cypress}; cd C:\Cypress npm init npm install cypress#9.5.4 --save-dev
Now to validate if cypress installed and which version:
npx cypress open It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 11.2.0
Then I did decide to clean all the cypress cache and even so I got this message Deleted all binary caches except for the 11.2.0 binary cache.
To my surprise cypress output version shown above is from version 11.2.0, contradictory to this the package.json shows that the only version present in that file is 9.5.4 as shown in the snippet below.
To make easier the search from below snippet do a Ctrl+F and type "cypress": { "version": "", it would be present only one version of cypress that as mentioned before is 9.5.4 with all its related dependencies (that are a lot)
So, were am i failling? why version 11.2.0 is the one installed? will appreciated all your help
