Description

Java 22 (and possibly higher) fails to start the IPCPipe and gives no indication on what excactly failed and why the discord process isn't receiving messages.

OS: Windows 10
JRE: 22 Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit

Steps to reproduce:
Execute in Java 22
```java
var file = new RandomAccessFile("\\\\?\\pipe\\discord-ipc-0", "rw");
```

As this is supported in Java 21 this isn't a huge problem but should at least output an error message to the user.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure on Windows 10 with Java 22 using the RandomAccessFile named-pipe example from the issue, then trace IPCPipe startup and its existing error handling. Done means the Java 22 startup failure reports what failed and why Discord is not receiving messages, while Java 21 behavior remains supported.
