I'm trying to dockerize a Windows 10 GUI application with a Windows 10 host, in a container that has microsoft/nanoserver as the base.

Currently I have the application installed in the same directory as my dockerfile, I add it to my docker context and run it no problem, except that the GUI never displays.

It seems that to display the GUI I would have to use a server (like in this case: Windows 10 Docker Host - Display GUI application from Linux Container) but because I'm not using a linux container but rather a windows container the stuff about X11 server doesn't seem relevant.

How would I configure my display settings for a GUI application in a pure windows set up?
