this is just a shot in the blue. maybe we could apply for some support through Azure. https://opensource.microsoft.com/azure-credits/#credits-overview that could provide us a win remote test instance that can be used when needed.

Hi Keith Bit curious. WSL2 is command line, how would you be checking the desktop app on the same? On Thu, 22 Jun, 2023, 1:35 am Keith N.
