Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Bugs

Often when I open the app, it loads, I start trying to do something, it kills itself to update and I wait for an installer window to finish, then it loads again, then it does it a second time, and then it loads again. It would be really nice if the update could happen in the background and a restart would pick up the new version like other apps like VS Code.

Research direction

Reproduce the update sequence on Windows 10 with app version 0.2.30, noting when the installer interrupts the first launch. Find the app's update and restart entry points, then verify that an update can complete without repeated interruption and that restarting opens the new version.
