/status returns error 500
WiinAppDriver v1.3 Release Candidate 1 (1.2.99)](https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/releases/tag/v1.2.99) GET /status returns error 500: {"status":13," value":{"error":"unknown error","message":"An unknown error occurred in the remote end while processing the command."}}
Some tools call /status as their first operation, and the error stops them from proceeding further. This is mentioned in several other bug reports (see for example https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/issues/1728 or https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/issues/1739).

curl 127.0.0.1:4723/status > {"build":{"revision":"0","time":"Wed Jun 30 20:20:12 2021","version":"1.2.99"},"os":{"arch":"arm64","name":"windows","version":"10.0.26100"}}
N.B. /status pulls information from the file WinAppDriver.exe (rather than the running executable?) so if you try renaming it it won't work.
I tested this (below) on Windows 11 Pro ARM and it works great.
