Windows apps have an update process that requires multiple application restarts. You can use the electron-squirrel-startup module to improve this behavior.

Squirrel.Windows apps do not require multiple application restarts - if you are seeing this, this is a bug in your app because you are not handling Squirrel events properly (note that all Electron apps are automatically opted into this).

The advice to use electron-squirrel-startup is good though!
