Research direction

Description
Description
Games run perfectly smooth inside Bottles, but launching a game trainer (.exe) inside the same bottle fails to display its GUI. The trainer process starts and its icon appears on the taskbar/system tray, but no interactive window is rendered on screen.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch a game inside a bottle (runs smoothly without issues).
- Run the game trainer executable (
.exe) inside the same bottle (via "Run Executable" or as a shortcut). - Observe the system taskbar/dock: The trainer process icon appears.
- Try clicking or switching to the window: The GUI fails to render on screen.
Expected Behavior
The trainer GUI should render normally over or alongside the game window, allowing key inputs and UI interaction.
Actual Behavior
The trainer process remains running in the background/taskbar, but the window interface never shows up.
