Windows left the picture out of a toast when it was kept under the user's AppData, so the copy now goes to ProgramData, which every account reads, and the uninstaller takes it back.
The update's alert was captioned humanize, the crate's name, beside Windows' information icon. It is now captioned with the app's name, and a note shows the app's own icon, as on macOS; a failure keeps Windows' error icon.
