Describe the issue:

Both on my home and my work laptop, Positron randomly disappears. I've checked my Windows logs and nothing. This is also not the first time it happens, I've reinstalled Positron on my work laptop 3 to 4 times now.

On my home laptop I had it installed as user. I've checked that folder, as I've been working with Positron only yesterday. The file Positron.exe is not in

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Positron

but moved to

C:\Users\Joris\AppData\Local\Programs\Positron_ (subfolder named underscore)

together with a whole bunch of other files. When looking at the new installation, then Positron is in the folder called "Positron". So somewhere along the way last night something decided to move all these files to a underscore folder.

If I remember right, my positron might have been open still when I've shut down my computer, and I briefly got a message that some software was still running. But that closed automatically.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. I have no clue, it feels utterly random.

Expected or desired behavior:

Positron staying where it belongs.

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

Nothing relevant.

I know this sounds utterly vague, and I've spent the better part of the morning checking whether the problem might be Windows, but it's specific to Positron and not a one-off alas.
