This is because the auto-update routine won't recognize that the latest executable is not compatible with Windows 7/8/8.1. Instead, we'll show the fallback notice with a link to the release so the user can select the correct executable for their system. It will be necessary to test the Electron version in main.cjs and prevent any auto-update running if it is 22.3.25 (or if it matches 22.3.x) because version 22.3.x is the last to support Windows 7+.
