What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Whenever we make changes to the FilesLauncher file, existing users need to toggle the default file manager setting off and on for it to apply. Automatically updating this file will make sure users always have the latest improvements.

How about checking FilesLauncher.exe in LocalAppData at startup and replacing it if the binary has been updated?
