Desktop crashes on startup for users with Google Antigravity installed #22237

Description

@niik

We've received multiple reports recently about GitHub Desktop and other applications built on Electron crashing at startup. We're still investigating this but users have reported that they've been able to resolve this by removing a faulty SID (security identifier) from their %LOCALAPPDATA% folder that was seemingly left there by Google Antigravity.

We'll be keeping this issue pinned as we gather more information about this.
