Summary
Why
The previous page focused on Microsoft Store search and did not provide a guided way to install common desktop applications. Update checks also depended on unauthenticated GitHub REST requests, which could exhaust the shared hourly limit and mark every installed application as unchecked.
This change provides a cleaner first-run experience while keeping installs tied to Microsoft WinGet manifests or official publisher instructions. Downloaded fallback installers are checked against the SHA-256 value from their manifest.
Validation
dotnet build SynToolkit/SynToolkit.csproj --no-restoresucceeds with 0 errorsSynToolkit.SystemInformationTestspassThe build still reports the two pre-existing nullable warnings in
WindowsWallpaperService.cs; this PR does not modify that file.
