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

Summary

Updated product name references from 'AppStream 2.0' to 'WorkSpaces Applications' and associated client/driver names

Security assessment

The changes are branding updates and maintain existing requirements. While the document mentions local administrator rights for USB driver installation, this is not a new security consideration introduced by this change.
