Persistent SD v1.0

PersistentSD — Updated Build Release Notes

What's New

Safety Improvements

• Prevents PersistentSD from taking a drive letter already assigned to another volume.
• Leaves existing volumes and their drive-letter assignments untouched when the preferred letter is occupied.
• Improves safe handling when an existing scheduled task cannot be retrieved during backup.

Reliability

• Fixes preference loading so the full configuration file is read correctly.
• Improves backup handling for existing scripts and scheduled-task configurations.
• Aligns scheduled-task XML configuration with the Persistent SD task name.

User Experience

• Adds a restart reminder after successful installation so users know when to reboot.
• Clarifies that an already-occupied drive letter will be left untouched.

Build and Testing

• Adds a GitHub Actions workflow to compile and package the Windows application.
• Packages PersistentSD.exe, PersistentSD.ps1, README.md, and LICENSE together.

Important Notes

• Extract the ZIP before running the application.
• Keep PersistentSD.exe and PersistentSD.ps1 together.
• Run the application as Administrator when installing.
• Restart Windows after installation when prompted.
• Test on your target system before relying on drive-letter persistence.

This build has been successfully compiled and packaged. Real-world drive assignment behavior should still be verified on the target Windows system.
