the last windows build got stuck. apparently you can't see the output of a given step of a runner in github like you can in gitlab, so I was blind, but it only takes <10 minutes to build the exe in gitlab, so I canceled it at 12 minutes.

Yeah, it looks like it got stuck after executing the app. It probably just launched the "window" and nobody was around to close it, so it just stayed. Strange, on gitlab it doesn't get stuck here. Anyway, I'll just comment-out the line that executes it after the build
