Description:
When launching MySQL Workbench on Windows, the application crashes with the error:

"Desktop composition is disabled. The operation could not be completed because desktop composition is disabled. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80263001)"

This happens immediately after opening the application. The issue prevents normal usage.

How to repeat:
1. Open MySQL Workbench
2. Wait for application to load
3. Error message appears and application crashes

Suggested fix:
Possibly related to Windows display settings or graphics driver. Enabling desktop composition or updating GPU drivers might help.
