Research direction
This issue requests Windows support for the autochrome tool, which currently fails on Windows with a NameError related to NotImplementedException. The error suggests missing platform specific implementations in ProfileBuilder. Investigate the current codebase, particularly the AutoChrome::ProfileBuilder class, to identify all methods that need Windows compatible implementations. Reference similar tools that support Windows to understand required changes. The issue is from 2020 and has no recent activity, so a fresh approach is needed.
