The config folder on Windows is located in the installation folder, in C:\Program Files\Sunshine\config. This goes against Windows guidelines that say:

Your app must be installed in the Program Files folder by default [...] User data or app data must never be stored in this location because of the security permissions configured for this folder.

The current implementation makes it hard to backup and restore the config, since programs need administrative permissions to write to the folder. My suggestion is to move it into the %appdata% folder or similar, where users and programs have access. Alternatively, set the config folder permissions to allow users and programs to write to it.

Sunshine doesn't run as a user by default so storing in appdata is not a good idea either.
