Suddenly this is happening, and people are saying it is the new version. (Again?)
Is it possible that in these cases Shotcut was on the Safe Apps list, and the recent upgrade triggered Windows to kick it off? Perhaps something changed in the Windows internal protocols, perhaps a small change in how Update is done.
I am thinking that maybe there is some small tweak to Update that would prevent this in the future.
Or maybe not…
