I have been seeing this when waking up my PC in the morning. Maybe it is related to the display waking up from being asleep. I also used remote desktop to this PC from a different PC with a different resolution & DPI setting, which could be part of it as well.

Interestingly, I just happened to look at another application's crash log from the same timestamp and it also crashed with System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException {Desktop composition is disabled}
