2 Reboot

At a powershell prompt:

3 Start Kmail

• click on Kmail application

WSL logs:

logs.zip versions.txt

Expected behavior

Kmail should start correctly likewise when launched from KDE as follows:

• From KDE start menu, click on Kmail

Actual behavior

Kmail starts with no icons:

@David-Kneel could you try updating to Windows Insider build 21387 which was released earlier this week? Starting with that build, application launch from the start menu will be launch as if they were launch from the shell. Before they were launch with no user profile applied.
