Fixes

- Application starts with limited functionality on builds lacking hardcoded symbol information; symbol downloading is disabled for now, by default, but can be enabled in the "Advanced" settings section of "Properties" (.7)
- Improvements to how hung windows are treated by the Windows 10 window switcher; fixed an issue that severely delayed the time it took the window switcher to display when a window hung on the screen (#449) (.8)
