PR to revert #352 this for the following reasons, though I'd be happy to discuss:

Each time I download a nightly it runs the PowerShell script which requires confirming a popup, but then when running the nightly the Windows firewall pops up regardless (just like it always did). Alas, this seems to just add an extra click unfortunately, and what's more damaging it seems to sporadically trigger Windows to block Knossos. I've had it happen twice now in the past month or so where Windows just outright blocks Knossos, and each time I have to fully reinstall Knossos to get it to work again (I can turn Smart App off ofc, but I'd prefer not to especially since most folks casually using Knossos or TCs especially will very likely just stop playing as opposed to blocking Smart App).

Again happy to discuss but the current method causes those pitfalls while not saving any actual clicks, so I'd reckon reverting is the best bet.
