Area(s) with issue?

General

Steps to reproduce

Don't know, I just opened a second instance of Visual Studio 2022 Professional, nothing different from other times I did that.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Nothing at all, PowerToys was just chilling in the background.

❌ Actual Behavior

4 windows opened showing me a log and telling me to post it here. At the same time, my screens flashed and now my MS Teams window is completely black. Had to completely quit teams and restart to get back visuals.
On top of that, a system error message:

ServiceHub.SettingsHost.exe - System Error

A new guard page for the stack cannot be created.

Here's the log from one of the windows, they all show the same thing:

I have 48GB RAM, of which 47.8 are usable, of which 11.1 are currently in use.

My desktop looks like this currently:

adding IsDesignTimeCreatable=False to every d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance ...} have fixed the issue for me, its a memory leak when the Designer is overloaded with stackoverflows related to DesignInstance
