AWS appstream2 documentation change

Service: appstream2 · 2025-11-07 · Documentation low

File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/client-application-windows-installation-user.md

Summary

Replaced 'AppStream 2.0' with 'WorkSpaces Applications' in installation instructions. Updated references to client components and drivers but maintained existing security-related functionality.

Security assessment

Changes reflect product rebranding without altering security posture. Mentions of USB driver installation and client logging remain functionally equivalent, just with updated naming.
