explorer.exe crashes cause FancyWM to crash

[mataslib]

Describe the bug
Fancy crashes often with error "explorer.exe just crashed and this caused virtual desktops...". It always happens in win+tab mode, eg. when dragging app to another vir. desktop. Dragging chrome with 50 tabs is 100% crash. Seems like windows issue though, weird behaviour (like explorer.exe indeed does crash) happens even without Fancy running :/.

To Reproduce

1. Chrome, ctrl+t 50 new tabs
2. Win+tab, drag chrome to another vir. desktop
3. Error

@veselink1 Just letting you know I did report issue to Microsoft via feedbackhub. Let's hope it won't take yrs

@mataslib Thanks for reporting to Microsoft.

This is in fact caused by explorer.exe crashing. When not running, the virtual desktop service is unavailable, so FancyWM has no way of knowing which windows belong to which virtual desktop.

I plan to improve the error handling system, by allowing the user to force the application to continue running, ignoring any errors, but this will likely not be implemented anytime soon.

Explorer crashes no longer crash FancyWM as of v2.6.0 in Store now (as long as explorer starts again in 10s).

couldn't test it since explorer isn't crashing anymore in my case
