The new version doesn't work if we do a new installation without uninstalling the old version #144

Hello, I saw that there is a new version of our beloved MoonPlayer on github so I preferred not to use MoonPlayer's internal update mechanism and I thought maybe it's better to do a new installation after downloading the new version from github, but I specify I did not uninstall the old version and therefore after the installation, the new version does not work on my windows 10, I checked the manager stain and I see moonplayer.exe in the background processes but Moonplayer does not launch....

so I uninstalled the new version of Moonplayer, I activated the "show hidden folders" option of windows 10 and I deleted the Moonplayer settings folder then I reinstalled the latest version and it works! MoonPlayer is working again! I think our beloved Moonplayer should automatically uninstall the old version if we install the new version from github and if we are not using the auto-updater ! Thank you very much for this wonderful player!
