Extension stopped working on Sunday, November 17th, 2024. Please fix this, I can't work. It won't launch the VMWare application. Please fix as soon as possible since I cannot go to work physically, I need to use my remote desktop and because of this, I can't work and will likely need to buy a PC because VMWare is working fine on PCs.

When the client chromebook goes to sleep and wakes up, the horizon client can wind up in a bad state in which the session is not recoverable but it won't go back to the initial login screen to create a fresh connection.

Chrome版があるとは知らず、ずっとAndroid版を使っていました。 Android版を使っていたときは1日に何度も接続が切れ、ひどいときには30分に1度というときもありました。 また、2画面で使用していたときは画面をまたいでウィンドウをドラッグすると、画面の切れ目でいちどドラッグが 解除され、もう一度ドラッグし直さなければいけませんでした。 Chrome版に変えてからは1日中接続が切れるということは無く、画面またぎのドラッグも問題なくできるように なりました。 Chrome OSのアップデートがあっても固まったりせず快適に利用できています。 ただ、2025年10月？までしか使えないようなので心配です。 （使用機器：Acer Chromebook 317　米Amazonから購入しました）
