Description
After running the example, Visual Studio Output Window logs the following error:
Exception thrown at 0x00007FFEE268CD29 (KernelBase.dll) in CommonFileDialogSDKSample.exe: 0x000006BA: The RPC server is unavailable.
The application seems to behave correctly. Is this normal?
Also, I've noticed that after the dialog window is shown, my application takes a long time to close. That is, the window closes but the associated console that it spawns stays on for a second. It seems that using Show() causes a bunch of dlls to be loaded, which leads to increased shutdown time. Is this normal?

Research direction
Start by running the CommonFileDialogSDKSample.exe example and observing the Visual Studio Output Window after Show() is called. Investigate whether the RPC server error and delayed console shutdown are reproducible and expected; done means providing a confirmed explanation or a clearly scoped fix, though the issue names no source file or test.
