Research direction
No project file, component, expected behavior, or actual behavior is identified. Start by reproducing the crash on PowerToys 0.91.1.0 while the Windows theme changes, then trace the WPF binding and resource-theme stack; done means the crash is resolved and the triggering scenario is covered by an appropriate regression test.
