Description

A couple days ago my WinApps setup stopped working. I've tried terminating and restarting the container, but when launching windows for example: I just get a toast saying: "WinApps: Booting Windows", and then nothing happens.
Trying to launch windows through the terminal gives no output either.

I'm on:
OS: Linux mint 22_x86_64
Kernel: 6.8.0-49
Desktop: Cinnamon 6.2.9

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows launch through the terminal and the desktop toast on Linux Mint, then inspect the restarted container and its available logs. The payload does not identify a source file or test; done would mean launching Windows successfully and producing useful terminal output when it fails.
