Pull request overview
Updates end-user documentation to reflect the new release packaging format: a single self-contained, multi-architecture MSIX bundle, and removes claims tied to the now-dropped .appinstaller update mechanism.
Changes:
- README Quick Start now points users to installing
EventLogExpert_{version}.msixbundle(and provides a PowerShell install command). - Updates/diagnostics docs remove the
.appinstaller-driven background update-check explanation, emphasizing the in-app background check on launch.

What
Docs refresh for the new release pipeline (single self-contained, multi-architecture MSIX bundle), plus two fixes that surfaced while updating the docs.
Install / update text
EventLogExpert_{version}.msixbundleand double-click to install. Runs natively on x64 and ARM64 (Windows installs the matching architecture), and is self-contained (the Windows App Runtime ships inside the package) so there is no separate runtime to install. Drops the old x64-only.appinstaller/.msixflow and the manualMicrosoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.7.msixstep. Adds a Requirements line (Windows 11, Server 2022, Server 2025; x64 or ARM64)..appinstaller-driven update-check claim (the release no longer ships an.appinstaller); the in-app updater already checks on launch.New hero screenshot
docs/.images/EventLogExpert-Dashboard.png. The combined-view image is retained (still used indocs/Viewing-Events.md).Fix: doc screenshots were not rendering
docs/*.mdscreenshot was written as<!-- screenshot: NAME --> on a single line. A line beginning with<!--is parsed as an HTML block, so the trailing image markdown was emitted as text and no<img>was produced (confirmed via GitHub's markdown API). Moved each comment to its own line so the image renders. AffectsFiltering.md,Saved-Filters.md,Settings.md,Updates-And-Diagnostics.md,Viewing-Events.md.Merge timing
The install text documents the NEW release format. The current latest release is still the old x64
.appinstaller/.msix, so merge this in coordination with the first self-contained bundle release; otherwise the README points users at a.msixbundlethat the latest release does not yet contain. (The screenshot-rendering fix is independent and safe to merge anytime.)
