Description

I installed UWP version, my OS is Windows 10 1909.

When opening some html file saved by firefox “Save Page WE” extension, this program froze. I had to kill the process.

I think program should pop up a message and close the preview window instead of frozing when don't know how to process.

Sorry for my Chinglish

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze in the UWP version on Windows 10 with the attached sample.zip and the HTML file saved by Firefox’s Save Page WE extension. Trace the preview handling for this input; done means the application remains responsive and shows a message or closes the preview window when it cannot process the file.
