My suspicions that some Windows app or another is using Electron under the hood are usually confirmed when I eventually click the app launcher icon and no window appears and I look in the task manager and see like 20 processes of that app running in the background but something is blocking new UI instances from displaying any UI until I go and kill all the headless zombie instances of the app running in the background with no UI attached.
You would think with all the apps that use Electron this is something that would be fixed (I don't know if the root cause is Electron itself or some bad practice that people who use it do often enough that I've mentally associated it with the framework) but I've seen this issue with every Electron app I've used for any period of time (except VSCode) for years.
