Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure through the Windows Computer Use runtime entry points sky.list_apps() and sky.list_windows(), then inspect the EnumWindows path-resolution behavior mentioned in the report. Confirm the runtime can enumerate windows from the listed applications without the 0x80070003 error, while preserving behavior on an unlocked desktop.
