One is compressed and has to be uncompressed in memory (or temp dir?) to run which takes time on startup. The other is already uncompressed and should start faster. |

The compressed one is compressed with upx which sometimes triggers false positive alerts in Windows Defender, this we also provide the uncompressed. |
