Vowen 0.4.3 on Windows won't start

Feature Request

Vowen 0.4.3 on Windows starts and immediately exits with no visible UI unless launched with SwiftShader flags.

Normal launch reaches app initialization but Chromium/Electron GPU process crashes repeatedly, then exits with: GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=-2147483645 FATAL: content\browser\gpu\gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc:415 GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

Workaround that makes it launch: Vowen.exe --use-gl=swiftshader --use-angle=swiftshader --disable-gpu-sandbox

Plain --disable-gpu did not fix it. The app works with SwiftShader.
