Description

Environment

Windows 11
Buzz Desktop 0.5.22 (Buzz_0.5.22_x64-setup_alpha-unsigned.exe)
Installed via auto-update from 0.5.20, then reproduced with clean reinstall from versioned release asset

Steps to reproduce

Install Buzz_0.5.22_x64-setup_alpha-unsigned.exe
Launch Buzz Desktop
App window opens and immediately shows Microsoft Edge "File not found / ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" error page

Expected behavior
App loads normally

Additional context

Uninstalling 0.5.22 and installing 0.5.20 resolves the issue
WebView2 cache cleared before testing clean reinstall — did not help
Windows Defender shows no detections on any Buzz binary

That's everything the maintainers need to reproduce and fix it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch failure with Buzz_0.5.22_x64-setup_alpha-unsigned.exe on Windows 11, then compare the 0.5.22 and 0.5.20 release assets and startup behavior. Done means a clean 0.5.22 installation opens the app normally instead of showing Microsoft Edge's ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND page.
