Description

### What Happened?

I opened the App Center, installed the Minder app (I didn't have to enter a password, which was strange), then switched to the next app, and suddenly the App Center window disappeared, and I got the message ">>App Center<< not responding."

I clicked "Wait," and after a while, the message reappeared, but the App Center window still wasn't visible.

I tried this a few times, but nothing changed.

Then I clicked "Force Quit," and everything went "whoosh," and after a moment, I was back at the login screen.

After logging back in, all applications were closed, and Chrome reported a crash.
