Research direction

Start by reviewing the previous attempt in PR #3344 and compare it with the behavior of SunshineCaptureSwitcher. Then inspect the Sunshine source to determine how the WGC method interacts with the service model; done means WGC works without disabling the service or running Sunshine manually.

Description

The WGC method is not user friendly as it requires disabling the service and running Sunshine manually.

There was a previous attempt to remedy this via https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/pull/3344 and other tools starting to pop up like https://github.com/roob-p/SunshineCaptureSwitcher

It would be ideal if this can be resolved in Sunshine's source code instead of through third party tools.
