  Windows 10 64bit
  
  I used this script to open two portable chrome instances and then tried
  to change the focus to them or close them with .focus() and .close()
  method but nothing happens:
  
  open_instances = {} # a dictionary to keep record of opened browsers
  {name:app}
  
  def browser(target, action = True ):
      temp = r"C:\Users\Test\Desktop\Chromes\f" + str(target) + r"\f" + str(target) + r".exe"
      if action: #for opening
          open_instances["f"+str(target)] = App(temp)
          open_instances["f"+str(target)].open(10)
      else: # for closing
          open_instances["f"+str(target)].close()
          del open_instances["f"+str(target)]
          wait(1)
  
  def main():
      for i in range(1,3): # trying to open the instances which works fine
          browser(i)
          wait(2)
      for i in range(1,3): # trying to close same instances but it does not work. I even tried the .focus() but no success either
          browser(i, False)

+ ---------------------- problem and workaround
+ someApp.focus() and someApp.close() will only work, if the app object created with App("some.exe").open() will have a window associated after startup.
+ 
+ -------------------- workaround
+ In complex cases like portable Chrome, there is no associated window with the main process and hence it is only possible to focus the app with a part of the window title, which in turn allows to get the app object with the window-owning process, that in turn is focusable and closeable.

  [1.1.4] Windows: app focus and close only work if app instance has an
