[BUG] Updating MSIX Results in a Stopped Service #711

Description

@elibroftw

Project
MSIX SDK

Describe the bug

We are working on a VPN app and when testing updating with a VPN connection, we see that the GUI is stopped, the VPN remains connected (as desired), but when the GUI launches, the service remains stopped. An MSIX Update doesn't seem to restart the service?

To Reproduce

Create an MSIX package with another binary as the service. In the package manifest, state that binary as a system service. On update, the service will show "Start" in the services app.

Expected behavior

Auto restart of the service.
