Describe the bug
github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif@22a10b445c/ScreenToGif/Windows/Other/Downloader.xaml.cs (L38-L39)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

On Surface Pro 11 (with Snapdragon X1E80100)
Download ScreenToGif.2.41.1.Setup.Arm64.msi from https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/releases/tag/2.41.1
Check ffmpeg download and proceed
Check the binary, either via:
1. Task Manager
  1. Open Task Manager
  2. Open Details tab
  3. Make sure the "Architecture" column is visible (If not, right-click any column header and use "Select columns" context menu to check it)
  4. Save file with any ffmpeg encoding option (I used webm/rav1e)
  5. Find ffmpeg.exe in the list and check the architecture
2. Visual Studio's dumpbin
  1. Open Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt
  2. Run dumpbin "C:\ProgramData\ScreenToGif\ffmpeg.exe" /headers
  3. Check whether FILE HEADER VALUES says ARM64 or x64

Expected behavior
ARM64 binary should be downloaded

Output

dumpbin "C:\ProgramData\ScreenToGif\ffmpeg.exe" /headers

Additional context
How is screentogif getting ffmpeg binary though? The code gets it from https://www.screentogif.com/downloads/, is it built from source or is it mirroring from some other distributions? If latter, then this is not immediately solvable as there's no arm64 binary distributions yet.
