System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The parameter is incorrect

[PhyxionNL]

Similar to #103, the mentioned new version doesn't solve it. In 4.3.1 this is still a problem.

At the moment this causes an unhandled exception / app crash.

@Phyxion What is your environment? .NET core? .NET 5? Which OS? Inside a VM?

[PhyxionNL]

Sorry, missed that somehow.

Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language
10.0.18363.0
x64
.NET 4.7.2.

No VMs.

E: Looked up a couple more, some on .NET 472 others on .NET 48.

Microsoft Windows 10 Home
10.0.18362.0
x64

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
10.0.18363.0
x64

Microsoft Windows 10 Home Insider Preview
10.0.19564.0

@Phyxion are you able to reproduce the issue or does it only happen sporadically? Do you know what actions in your application cause the crash? This is a long standing issue and we already implemented many safe-guards to prevent this from happening, but were never able to reproduce the issue... So all those safe-guards were added "blindly"...

[PhyxionNL]

It only happens occasionally. I cannot reproduce it, but it happens frequently enough to be annoying. The application is usually launching. Why not catch this exception in UpdateCore (or remove the exception throw in SetWindowPos)? Surely it would be preferred to let the application continue rather than CTD.

Thanks @punker76, I'll give this a try when 4.3.2 is out.
