Breaking change in electron-updater caused by using Electron 11

[tub5]

CLI: 11.5.1.0
NuGet: 11.5.1

• Target: win-x64

As per the ticket open for electron-updater all auto update applications will break. As this appears to be the route the developers of the package are heading, the Electron version used in this package should be updated to at least Electron 12.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a project with auto-updater enabled and properly set up
2. See the application throw stating that Error: Cannot find module 'fs/promises'

Also got this surprise today. Built and deployed updates refused to start on many user machines :( Please help. At least any temporary fix will also be helpful..

They have reverted to put the affected build of 4.0.9 of electron-updater as latest so you shouldn't have this issue for now. PR is in to upgrade our Electron version anyway and they will be reviewed tomorrow evening.
