Unlike the template workflows, the default workflow that is loaded at startup for a new installation does not offer the option to load the missing model. This is easy to fix for someone who has used Comfy in the past - but could prove very confusing and frustrating for a new user. I would recommend that either:

- The system offer to load the missing model as it would for a template;  
or:
- No workflow be preloaded by default, but upon first launch the user is directed to load and run a template workflow.
