Apologies for the delay, I’ve just implemented v1.1.1 and can confirm it works as intended, the workaround with multiple driver sessions is no longer required. Thank you for the support.

@YouWhy What I think you are doing above is trying to find the element in the splash screen window and that has been closed. You still have to switch windows and make sure it’s the correct one in case the splash screen is slow to disappear. Here’s a bit of code that should help you get the idea:

for (int attempt = 0; attempt < 5; attempt++)
                {
                    var WindowHandles = _driver.WindowHandles;
                    try
                    {
                        _driver.SwitchTo().Window(WindowHandles[0]);
                        if (_driver.FindElementByName(<outlook_main_window_name>).Displayed)
                        {
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                        catch (Exception) { }
                }    
return _driver;

@Bulbul1234 This works for me. I have a splash screen and a log-in. But, here is the code for the splash screen.

public static void StartApplication()
    {
      if (session == null)
      {
        DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        appCapabilities.SetCapability("app", "MyApp.exe");
        appCapabilities.SetCapability("newCommandTimeout", "100");
        appCapabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "Windows");
        appCapabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC");
        session = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri(WindowsApplicationDriverUrl), appCapabilities);
        Assert.IsNotNull(session);
        string splash = $"{session.CurrentWindowHandle}";
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(session, new TimeSpan(0, 0, 15));
        wait.Until(drv => drv.WindowHandles[0] != splash);
        session.SwitchTo().Window(session.WindowHandles[0]);
        System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<string> allWindowHandles = session.WindowHandles;
      }
    }
