Microsoft PowerToys version

0.87.0

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

No

Area(s) with issue?

Workspaces

Steps to reproduce

create a workspace with a minimum width skype window and a PWA host in Edge. Create a Desktop shortcut (and move it to Start|Programs and pin it to Start - why oh, why does Workspaces not do this? Who on Earth clutters their desktop with icon? Monsters!). Launch workspace from any shortcut or direct in Workspaces App. Skype launches, PWA does not, no Edge window appears either.

✔️ Expected Behavior

PWA should launch as advertised.

❌ Actual Behavior

PWA does not launch

I have workspaces for two different PWAs, neither works as expected

Other Software

Edge Version 131.0.2903.99 (Official build) (64-bit)

Hi @mccrispy
I've analysed your logs. The pwa app seems to be launched but not appearing, which is a bug somewhere.
We have tested with different pwa apps, which were working. Also now I've installed the Board Game Arena pwa app under edge and it works for me. I can launch it via workspaces (from editor and via shortcat too).
So as I cannot reproduce your faulty scenario, I would like to ask you for a little cooperation.
A question first: you have probably installed the app long time ago? - just asking to have some idea to catch the problem.

I see, that the snapshot tool was launched in September (PT version 0.84). At that time the PWA code was not complete, so that might cause the problem. I would like to ask you to create a new snapshot with the latest 0.87 PT and try to launch it. It might actually work. If not, please send a new /bugreport and I'll give it a look again, Thanks for your cooperation.
