Application cannot exit normally

Winapps will continue running in the background even if all Windows application windows are closed.

This makes the Dash to Dock unclickable if other windows overlap with it. Killing the winapps process solves the issue.

@joezhouchenye It’s possible that the issue you’re experiencing stems from an inherent limitation of the RDP protocol.

As noted in bin/winapps:

RemoteApp RDP sessions require AT LEAST 20 seconds to be terminated by the Windows server.

This delay likely serves to improve the user experience by keeping the RDP session open briefly, preventing the need to re-establish an RDP connection if a user decides to open another application.

WinApps relies on FreeRDP to terminate first, and FreeRDP will only quit once the RDP session has been fully terminated by the Windows VM.

Have you tried waiting at least 20 seconds before running ps -ef | grep winapps to confirm the session has closed?
