I've reworked completely how SoundSwitch avoid conflicting with itself.
If SoundSwitch is already running for the specific user, it won't try to force the old instance to stop and start again, it will simply stop and let the old instance continue its job.
I've also fixed a bug where some devices selected wouldn't be available to switching.
Happy 2021 (hopefully not 2020b). Also, new year mean new certificate to sign the application, still from Certum and still recognized as valid by Windows.
ps: First release of the year, and also first release in a long time without any false positive for virus detection \o/

This version fix the bug where you couldn't switch your audio device anymore because of the "Also switch foreground program" was enabled. Moreover, you'd have to reset the audio device in advanced menu of Windows 10.
All of this was caused by the move to .NET 5.0 and the lack of proper error reporting in the app related to the "switch only a specific app" feature.
Now everything is fixed and working as before. Sorry for the inconvenience.

.NET
.NET Project is moving forward, from now on SoundSwitch will require .NET 5.0.0. As usual, it will be directly detected and provided by the installer.
This should help a lot with the issue some of you have been encountering when running the program and it wouldn't set the hotkeys correctly.
Profile
Adding detection of UWP apps, the app you're installing from the Microsoft Store. You'll be able to use them as triggers for switching profiles.

Multiple change in this version mostly related to the profile feature.
You can now configure the same profile with multiple different triggers like the content of the program window, if Steam Big Picture is in the foreground.
Moreover, I've added a basic notification system for it that uses the banner, you'll be notified when the profile is triggered. And you can set the communication device in the profile.
And last but not least, you can now edit a profile directly. The UI has been completely revamped, I hope it makes it more accessible.
