of Files? If so it's still having the same issue. Already tried cleaning solution and uninstalling the existing install. |
Removed SHA256 hash file and related hash comparison logic from Files.App.Launcher update process. Now uses a branch file (Branch.txt) to determine if the launcher should be updated, simplifying the update mechanism. Updated PowerShell command to ensure Branch.txt is created during setup. This streamlines the update process and improves maintainability.
