I hate when agents steal desktop focus to do UI automation. The next winapp CLI release will add Windows Sandbox support so agents can run and automate apps while I keep working. winapp run --on sandbox winapp ui invoke button --on sandbox Would you find this useful?

This is so cool, @AlexandreChohfi is adding file based app support WITH identity to #winappcli - using a Windows API that needs identity has never been so easy, just "winapp run myfile.cs" feedback welcomed 👉 github.com/microsoft/winappC…
