Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue through the Workspaces editor and its desktop shortcut using Microsoft Sticky Notes (new), then inspect the Workspaces implementation that identifies and restores application instances. Compare the saved Sticky Notes identity with the MS OneNote identity during workspace launch. Done means Sticky Notes reopen in their saved positions instead of launching OneNote instances.
