Ds4Windows autoprofile doesn't work when used via launchbox

[Sbaby]

I have for a long time some automatic profiles for the ds4windows program, if I start retroarch, automatically it will load a ds4windows retroarch profile that allows me to use the f1 key on the joypad pad.

If I start retroarch natively works, it also worked when starting a retroarch-game from launchbox, but for some time it no longer loads the automatic profile if I start retroarch from launchbox. why ?

I also would like a solution to this. I would like to bring up the on screen keyboard via macro mapped to L3 in LB.

I solved the problem by creating a new "APPLICATIONS" platform and putting DS4Windows in there as if it were a game. If you start Ds4Windows from BigBox, the automatic profiles start working again. Don't ask me  why this happens but this is how it works

Bruh, same problem here on Windows 11. Autoprofiles ran fine when I opened RetroArch on its own, then stopped the second I launched anything through LaunchBox. Adding https://ds4-windows.io/ as a game under a new APPLICATIONS platform and starting it from BigBox brought them back. My RetroArch profile now loads on its own, F1 works on the pad again, and I stopped remapping keys before every session. Thanks for writing this up.
