Describe the bug
When I launch Kudu on Windows 11, I only have a black Window at the second attempt. I think it is similar to the issue #148
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Kudu is installed in "C:\Program Files\Kudu"
- Click on Kudu shortcut on Desktop and validate the privilege elevation request. Nothing appears.
- Click on Kudu shortcut on Desktop and validate the privilege elevation request. A black window appears, without icon to close or reduce it.
Expected behavior
Just have the Kudu window displayed.
System Info
- OS: Windows 11 25H2 up to date
- Version 1.48.0
Additional context
Regarding points of the #148:
2/ Powershell result for & 'C:\Program Files\Kudu\Kudu.exe':
