Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was using a Pharo installation that was a few months old on a Windows PC that always has the latest Windows updates, and Pharo crashed when loading projects with Metacello (an old bug that seems to come back when the Windows is updated?). There was in fact a newer VM that fixes the crash (again). I found this by revisiting the bug report on the web, then updating manually my VM by clicking "VMs" and "Update" in Pharo Launcher.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like Pharo Launcher to tell me when installed VMs have updates to download, so I can know to update/install them as needed.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually clicking "VMs" and "Update" from time to time or after crashes.
Expected development cost
I have no idea, but it seems feasible to modify the VMs window to see what changes there could be?
Additional Context
A first-time install on Windows (when there was never a Documents\Pharo folder) seems to get the latest VMs for Windows. But I don't think re-installing Pharo Launcher will change or update VMs that are already in place locally.
