Fix WinuiEx crash issue (#45443)

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixes a crash related to `IsShownInSwitchers` when explorer.exe is not
running. The property has been removed from XAML and is now set in the
C# backend with added exception handling to improve stability. No
changes were made for projects where the property is set to true, as
they are not affected.
