I use ansible to connect to the windows system, and win\_ping shows normal results. I want to start Google Chrome and display the interface. What should I do?

ansible cr -m win\_shell -a ‘Start-Process “C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe”’  
| SUCCESS | rc=0 \>\>

Although using this command shows success, observing the windows host interface does not open Google Chrome.

Although it shows success, process has been started in your task manager, not from a GUI perspective of your currently connected windows user.

Ansible works connecting seemlessly on your windows, it won’t act like a human (open a gui session, then double click to open something) 🙂
