Virtual Desktop Unlock v0.1.5

Virtual Desktop Unlock 0.1.5 fixes the access-denied startup crash observed after a Windows reboot.

• Streamer detection no longer calls Process.HasExited, which could request synchronization access denied by Windows and terminate the app before its window appeared.
• Library and bitrate acknowledgement checks omit the same unnecessary call while retaining process identity validation and error handling.
• The desktop app continues to run without administrator privileges. Saved library selections are preserved.

Upgrade: exit Virtual Desktop Unlock from its tray menu, replace the desktop app files, and retain your Data folder. Existing helper 0.1.4.0 remains compatible and does not need reinstalling for this desktop fix.

Compatibility: optional game-library and bitrate integration still supports only the verified Streamer 1.34.23.0 binary. Streamer 1.34.25 is not supported by this helper and is correctly rejected. This release fixes desktop startup; it does not extend helper compatibility. Requires Windows x64 and .NET Desktop Runtime 10; optional integration also requires .NET Framework 4.7.1+.

Bitrate functionality remains experimental. Higher actual video throughput above 200 Mbps is unverified despite confirmed higher NVENC configuration targets. Headset slider/overlay values may remain unchanged. See README and docs/verification.md for the evidence and limitations inherited from 0.1.4.

Validation: clean source build from commit fab2642; 63 desktop checks, 33 bitrate server checks, helper startup smoke test, and five isolated game-library cases passed against the SHA-256-verified Streamer 1.34.23 backup. The unsupported-version guard rejected installed Streamer 1.34.25. The crash fix was also tested by launching the app without administrator rights while the existing Streamer process remained running; the window displayed and survived repeated status refreshes, with the saved library unchanged. A further system reboot was not performed.
