Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/735

Current behavior

When BoostNote finds an update to install, it notifies Windows users via the notification system and pops up the dialogue in the screenshot below. The title is just 'Found Updates', with the text in the box saying 'Found updates, do you want to update now.'

The problem is it doesn't say who or what has found an update. It ought to mention the product name otherwise it looks a little dodgy. The first time I saw the anonymous 'can I do stuff to your computer ?' message I said no and wondered what hookey software had found itself on my machine. An experiment closing and reopening BoostNote seemed to suggest that was what was notifiying me, so I said yes.

Suggested solution

Add 'BoostNote' to the dialogue title bar, so 'BoostNote found updates' and maybe use the BoostNote icon as the dialogue icon.
