Restart button after update available does not consistently relaunch the app #2169

Problem

When an app update is available, clicking the "Restart" button does not consistently relaunch the app. In some cases it appears to just close the app and never come back, leaving users to launch it manually.

In other cases it does restart, but only after a long enough delay that users assume the button is broken and quit waiting.

Suspected causes

  • Long patching/install times after quit
  • Connectivity issues while fetching or applying the update
  • No on-screen feedback between quit and relaunch, so users can't tell anything is happening
