Research direction
Start by reproducing the Chocolatey GUI crash with failOnInvalidOrMissingLicense enabled, using the reported Windows, PowerShell, Chocolatey, and GUI versions where possible. Compare the unhandled-exception screenshot and linked gist with the behavior when the option is disabled; done means the GUI no longer crashes when the option is true.
