AppiumLocalService starts duplicate application windows

Hello, I am testing a Windows application using AppiumLocalService. The problem is that Appium will start duplicate app windows which will cause the tests to fail. Any idea how to remedy that?

Here is the Appium setup code: ` {

         var appiumServiceBuilder = new AppiumServiceBuilder().UsingPort(4723).Build();
         appiumServiceBuilder.Start();

         var appiumOptions = new AppiumOptions();
         appCapabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("app", "appPath");
         appCapabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("fullReset", true);
         appCapabilities.AddAdditionalCapability("newCommandTimeout", 60);

         //This line causes duplicate app launches
         WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> session = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>
         (appiumServiceBuilder, appiumOptions); 

} `

Can you share the appium logs

We tried a different port and tried moving the AppiumLocalService to a static class, the result was the same, the app would launch duplicate times for some reason. We are using xUnit as the test framework, and have limited the threads to one.
