Windows Workspace/Algorithm Smoke Tests :man_astronaut: :woman_astronaut: :space_invader:

We must test both the .exe installer package and install direct from conda.

• To install via conda:
  • Use Intel Conda and make sure conda-forge is added to channels

    mamba create -n mantid_rc1 -c mantid/label/v6.10.0rc1 mantidworkbench --yes
    mamba activate mantid_rc1
    workbench # to launch

Before testing:

• Check this testing issue relates to the OS you will test on.
• If unassigned, please assign yourself as for a normal Github issue.
• Please run these tests on the release package of Mantid; not a locally built version.

Afterwards:

• Comment below with any issues you came across.
• If no major issues were found, please close this testing issue.
• Check the main issue for this OS for other unassigned smoke tests.

If you have any questions please contact the creator of this issue.
