Version: 0.85.1.0 OS Version: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 IntPtr Length: 8 x64: True Date: 11/23/2024 8:00:09 PM Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80263001): {Desktop composition is disabled} The operation could not be completed because desktop composition is disabled.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The computer is running normally with no issues. I'm not interacting with Power Toys at the time of the incident, but it is running in the background. At the time of the incident I wasn't interacting with any of the programs on my computer.

❌ Actual Behavior

Without warning my computer screens will flash and then I will be disconnected from some of the programs I have running on my computer. I have to close most of the programs on the computer and restart them. I end up shutting down the computer and restarting it just to make sure that everything is refreshed. At the time of this error I had Google Chrome, Excel, Outlook, Citrix Workspace, and StarSteer (an oil and gas software used for interpretation of oil and gas wells) all running on the laptop. This is a very normal workload for my computer.

This error happens perhaps once a week, and it's been happening for at least a couple months.
