Research direction

Start with the updater flow named in the log, especially TryUpdateLauncher and LockUpdater, and reproduce the failure using a normal launch and then --force. Investigate the CreateFileA failure with error 5 and verify that the updater can check or acquire its lock without producing the reported error.
