Steps to reproduce

Set the autostart option and update the app to a newer version (MSI Package) and look for the registry entry.

Expected behaviour

The autostart entry in registry should update to the newer app version.

Actual behaviour

The autostart function creates a registry entry in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and links to c:\Program Files\Nextcloud Talk\app-2.0.4\Nextcloud Talk.exe --background. When the app is updated, this entry is not updated. As a result, a user who utilizes the autostart feature remains on the older version of the program. They must first close the running app, restart it via the desktop icon, and then disable and re-enable the autostart to update the entry.

The entry should be updated upon an app update. Alternatively, the entry could link to c:\Program Files\Nextcloud Talk\Nextcloud Talk.exe --background.
