📄 Description

[Feature Request]: Automatically Update shadPS4 on OS Startup shadps4-emu/shadps4-qtlauncher#45
Created a separate .exe for updating. Added a checkbox in the settings to enable the option to update on Windows startup. When the option is enabled, a PowerShell script adds the new updater exe to the Windows Task Scheduler and sets it to run at startup. If there are updates available at startup, the update windows pops up. Disabling the option runs another script to remove the updater from the Task Scheduler.
Currently the feature only works for Windows but can be extended to support the other operative systems.
