## Summary of the Pull Request
Problem
-------------
We've observed multiple bug reports related to crashes with the
following exceptions:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xD0000701)
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80263001)
The root cause of these crashes has been traced to the WPF framework,
specifically this line in WindowChromeWorker.cs:
3439f20fb8/src/Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf/src/PresentationFramework/System/Windows/Shell/WindowChromeWorker.cs (L1005)
These crashes are not necessarily caused by PowerToys Run itself being
used, or even visible. However, users perceive them as Run-related
because the "Report problem UI" is triggered by our global exception
handler, surfacing the underlying WPF crash.
Fix
------------
This PR:
- Suppresses the launch of the "Report problem UI" for exceptions known
to be triggered by unstable platform conditions (such as COMExceptions
from WPF internals).
- Continues to log the exception to preserve diagnostic data.
This change ensures we:
- Avoid showing an UI when WPF framework itself is already having
problem to handling DWM composition changes.
