Description

This bug represents a class of issues with the MSIX platform running mixed versions of our package at the same time. This violates fundamental assumptions of our code and causes instability and crashing in a variety of ways.
We are pursuing this issue internally with the MSIX platform, but this main bug will represent any other issues that get root-caused to this situation.
