Workspaces

Steps to reproduce

A few minors Workspaces items that don't work as expected:
Microsoft Windows Files Explorer doesn't open to the size it was captured. If minimised the windows is SO small it can't be accessed. If not flagged (neither minimise or maximise check box are ticked) Explorer opens almost full screen
Outlook doesn't open minimised (as it is flagged)
A second Chrome window opens on the same screen as the first (it was captured on a second screen)
Phone Link doesn't open minimised (as flagged)

None of this is urgent. Simply reporting for feedback purposes.

Seperatley, is it at all possible for File Explorer to be opened with the tabs that were open at the time of the Workspace capture?

Thanks very much, team

✔️ Expected Behavior

I expected Explorer to open as positioned
I expected both Phone Link and Outlook to open minimised
I expected the second Chrome window to open on a second monitor as it was when captured

❌ Actual Behavior

Explorer opens in a tiny window that can't be accessed. Have to close it and open manually
Outlook and Phone Link both open unmaximised (the behavior when you hit maximise for the second time and the window returns to the size it was before maximise)
Chrome opens on the same screen as the first instance
