Bug Description

Some time ago it was possible to change the name of the RustDesk application's executable to whatever name we wanted, according to this tutorial https://github.com/CW3MH6/rustdesk-customization... The name "RustDesk" in the executable never bothered me. However, I have been experiencing some issues with Kaspersky Antivirus on my clients. I wanted to do an experiment, renaming the application name (including the rustdesk.exe executable) to see if this eliminates the AV problem. However, when I do the procedures to change the name of the executable, it generates an error during the build process. I would like to know if it is still possible to change the name of the application and what is the correct procedure?

How to Reproduce

Change the application name from RustDesk to any other desired name, as per the instructions in the document https://github.com/CW3MH6/rustdesk-customization

Expected Behavior

The build process stops due to error below:

warning: function `start_query_session_count` is never used
   --> src\tray.rs:172:10
