Komga not checking if it's already running

[Chirishman]

Steps to reproduce

Start Komga server twice on Windows

Expected behavior

Some kind of message/warning about the fact that it is already running and a clean exit of the second instance.

Actual behavior

Logs

No response

Komga version

1.8.4

Operating system

Windows 11

Installation method

from download.komga.org

Other details

I ran the installer and didn't immediately see the icon in the system tray, so I went to the start menu and started Komga, unaware that the installer automatically kicks it off. I was then presented with the above error message and thought I had a bad/corrupt install.

Looks like I'm not the only one who has been caught/confused by this: #1298

Usually installers have a little check box at the last step asking if you want to run it right away which I don't remember seeing when installing this. Some kind of cue like that as well as gracefully handling this might be a good improvement here.
