Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the workspace tool and its handling of saved workspaces, then investigate the Windows sign-in startup mechanism relevant to launching applications. Clarify how a specific workspace should be selected and what should happen when applications or workspace data are unavailable; done should include a documented startup option and verification that the workspace launches after Windows sign-in.
