I'm using Vision Client Launcher (but it's the same thing with perspective too) for a full-screen application in a Windows environment in table mode (tablet mode is improved for some things that I like to use 🙂 ) is there a way to avoid that if you rerun the client instead of starting a new instance it switches focus to the one already open? plus if anyone has found a way to "cheat" Windows table mode to start an application without seeing the start menu it would be great for me ---
