Description
Version: 5.1.20
Severity: Low
Tool: ALM Toolkit
Issue: If the tool is already running and the user for some reason opens the editor again from any source (via Power BI external tool, clicking on .exe or calling command via shell) it opens up a browser with an error. This can happen more than once.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with ALM Toolkit already running, then launch the editor again through Power BI's external tool, the .exe, and a shell command. Trace the startup and instance-handling path; done means repeated launches no longer open a browser showing an error.
