Description

React Native Debugger app version: rn-debugger-windows-x64.zip v0.13.0
React Native version: 0.68.5
Platform: No platform - it is not opening.
Is real device of platform: No device - RN Debugger is not opening.
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

I installed v0.13.0 to my computer and it shows it installs. I see the exe in my AppData folder but I get an error message saying this:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36378900/194368377-3efb87a7-e326-4227-ae82-59adeefc20da.png)

So I tried to use the setup.exe from the releases page artifacts and it will install and show it in my Taskbar, if I hover over it I can see the screen. When I click it, it does not open. I see a brief flicker of the frame of RN Debugger like it is hiding on my monitor. Can you help me get this to be visible or tell me what I can do with the windows 64 version to make it work?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the v0.13.0 rn-debugger-windows-x64.zip and setup.exe installation on Windows 10 Pro, checking the reported error and whether the app window is positioned off-screen. Inspect the Windows packaging and launch entry points; done means the installed debugger opens visibly after clicking its taskbar entry.
