If you are running Sunshine as a service on Windows, we are strongly urging you to update to v0.17.0 as soon as
possible. Older Windows versions of Sunshine had a security flaw in which the binary was located in a user-writable
location which is problematic when running as a service or on a multi-user system. Additionally, when running Sunshine
as a service, games and applications were launched as SYSTEM. This could lead to issues with save files and other game
settings. In v0.17.0, games now run under your user account without elevated privileges.
