optimizerDuck v2.28.1 - Windows 10 Starts Again, True EditionID, and Native French

on GitHub

This release fixes the startup crash on Windows 10, shows the real Windows edition on the dashboard, and rewrites the French translation to read natively. Thank you to @gsyp10032 for the fix guidance #86, to @Kevaee and @InsideMen0 for staying on the crash reports #50, and to @Robocnop for the French rewrite #89.

Fixes

• The app starts on Windows 10 again. CET shadow stacks ship enabled in .NET 9+ hosts, but CoreCLR calls QueueUserAPC2 when shadow stacks are on, and that API only exists on Windows 11 / Server 2022. So every build died at launch on Windows 10 with 0x80131506 ("Unknown Hard Error"). CETCompat is now off, keeping the Windows 10 support the README promises. Thanks to @gsyp10032 #86, @Kevaee and @InsideMen0 #50.
• The dashboard shows the real Windows edition. The Operating System card folded every Home-family SKU into Home, so CoreCountrySpecific (Home China) displayed as plain Home. It now reads the actual EditionID from the registry and keeps the family name next to it: CoreCountrySpecific (Home). IDs it has never seen display as-is instead of Unknown #88.

Improvements

• French rewritten to read natively. 819 strings reviewed, 232 rewritten. Literal calques rephrased, drifted recommendation reasons fixed, official Windows French terms used throughout. Thanks to @Robocnop #89.

New Contributors

• @gsyp10032 made their first contribution in #86
