Description

At first having this issue with my existing simplednscrypt install. Tried reinstall just in case and the problem persist.

Issues:

- dnscrypt service won't start/installed, after a while the app just close itself
- resolver menu won't open, clicking it will make the app freeze then close itself

Error log says these

```
2020-02-25 20:34:12.4134 ProcessHelper System.Exception: Timed out
at SimpleDnsCrypt.Helper.ProcessHelper.ExecuteWithArguments(String filename, String arguments)

```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the resolver-menu freeze and dnscrypt service failure on Windows, then inspect SimpleDnsCrypt.Helper.ProcessHelper.ExecuteWithArguments, which appears in the timeout log. Trace the service startup and resolver-menu paths to identify the timed-out process; done means the service starts and the Resolvers menu opens without freezing or closing the app.
