Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.101.*
### Installation method
Chocolatey
### Area(s) with issue?
General
### Steps to reproduce
Since August 10th, there have been 7 preview releases, each causing notifications to be send out to all users watching releases of this package. And I'm willing to bet that 100% of those people (who only "watch" releases) are not interested in "preview" releases.
I honestly don't understand why this package started publishing "preview releases" as it just causes a lot of noise.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
Only publish non-preview releases.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
No preview releases
### Upload Bug Report ZIP-file
_No response_
### Additional Information
Not relevant.
### Other Software
Not relevant.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the issue discussion and the seven preview releases since August 10, focusing on the PowerToys release stream and Chocolatey distribution. Determine where preview releases are published and how release watchers are notified; done means establishing a supported change so only non-preview releases are published and confirming the expected notification behavior.
