Windows 11 22H2 2261.2283 Breaks Functionality on v1.5.2

Synopsis

Updated my PC last night to Windows 11 22H2 22621.2283, went to run my work startup script this morning and the desktop switch errored out. Update-Module fixed my issue. This is the output from Switch-Desktop 1

VirtualDesktop.DesktopManager' threw an exception."

Tried doing a Get-DesktopList and that returned

The type initializer for 'VirtualDesktop.DesktopManager' threw an exception.

Updating fixed my issue, may be worth calling out in the readme for users to run Update-Module if they experience any issues.

Hello @conner-s,

you are very demanding, you expect me to put a notice for an update that Microsoft delivered yesterday?

Do you mean something like https://github.com/MScholtes/PSVirtualDesktop#155-2023-09-02 or https://github.com/MScholtes/PSVirtualDesktop#154-2023-08-27? Or like most of the other issues?

But hey, thank you for your feedback.

Greetings

Markus

My apologies, I wanted to bring it up as I experienced it and by no means meant it as a demand, I just wanted to suggest that documenting a procedure for the user to upgrade the module to fix potential issues would be beneficial in the readme. Is there a better way I could've worded that so that would've sounded less demanding?
