  • ActivityWatch version: v0.11.0

Describe the bug

Description of aw-qt.exe file is empty.

Additional context

Because of this, for example, the name of the file (aw-qt.exe) is displayed in the Startup list, although the name of the application (ActivityWatch) should be, like in Windows Terminal. And also applications for checking application updates, for example, SUMo, cannot work with this file due to the absence of a version in its description.
