Investigation summary
The Desktop Editor fails to launch after an update, crashing immediately with a 'FATAL ERROR: Failed to load il2cpp' error. This issue appears to be related to the Unity scripting backend components not loading correctly post-update, specifically with the il2cpp runtime initialization. The application itself updates successfully, but the subsequent launch fails due to this initialization failure.
