## Summary of the Pull Request This PR expands the scenarios where Run handles exceptions silently, reducing the number of exception dialogs displayed to users and creating a smoother experience. The premise remains unchanged: most exceptions occur when Run is in the background, and the app can recover as the DWM recovers. This should cover most of the reports commonly encountered in the wild. - Extended silent handling of DWM exceptions to include `DWM_E_COMPOSITIONDISABLED` (0x80263001). - Added silent handling for `STATUS_MESSAGE_LOST` error (NTSTATUS 0xC0000701, HR 0xD0000701). - Implemented exception handling and retry logic for failures during manual app theme changes (triggered by `PowerLauncher.Helper.ThemeManager`). I can't reproduce the error on its own; it only occurs alongside a fatal render thread failure (`UCEERR_RENDERTHREADFAILURE`), which is unrecoverable. Even if caught, the UI stops rendering, leaving the end-user unable to proceed. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Related to: #31226 - [x] Related to: #30769 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.
