I'm using the voice control software Talon with the community voice command set. The Windhawk window is recognized by it as VS Code, because the .exe name VSCodium.exe is triggering that behavior. The only usable hint about the identity of the software lies in the name of an ancestor directory of its .exe (C:\Program Files\Windhawk\UI\VSCodium.exe). It would be nice, if Windhawk represented its identity properly with an .exe name like windhawk-ui.exe. Otherwise, there would need to be a specific exception to exclude Windhawk via regex, which is possible, but isn't the most straightforward solution. In the current situation without a solution, voice commands like "window close" don't work, because Talon, misrecognizing the app the window belongs to, tries to run VS-Code-specific command palette commands like workbench.action.closeWindow, although it would need to run the generic implementations.

An .exe name like windhawk-ui.exe could also be nice for users of task managers (System Informer etc.). It's just more expressive.
