Description
Describe the bug
We have a automated ui pressure testing program that's testing our winui3 app. There is certain time that all winui3 app installed on the PC crashes upon launches. Looking the the dump reveals:
Curiously, all UWP app and normal win32 apps still launches and functioning normally.
This is NOT a GPU driver issue and my 3060 VRAM is at <2G in a total of 12G vram
