+- Setting up a Windows PC that an earlier version had set up (when the
+  app was called BroLink) now registers the `LatchStream` service. Setup
+  moved the engine's folder and removed the old service, but treated the
+  running engine as needing nothing more, so the new service was never
+  registered and the engine ran only once someone had signed in.
