Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We have a "Microsoft Surface Hub" Workstation at our workplace, and having a feasible open licence-free alternative to the packaged Microsoft Whiteboard seems like a good trade off.

The problem is that Surface Hub devices only support UWP apps, not MSIX. Something about safety and stability. Even the Developer mode doesn't let me install it.

Describe the solution you'd like A UWP edition/installation package of OpenBoard compatible with Surface Hub Workspaces/devices.

Describe alternatives you've considered Stick to Microsoft Whiteboard. I mean, it's more barebones, but it's the only way we can use a whiteboard on this device.

Additional context Tried installing it once, didn't work no matter what I did. If this is something that can't simply be resolved, I'll take it with a grain of salt, and move on.

How embarassing
