Describe the bug
Switching workspaces via taskbar breaks if Explorer has been restarted while komorebi is running.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a couple windows
  2. Move some to another workspace
  3. Restart Explorer
  4. Try to navigate to a window on a workspace that isn't the current one

Observed behavior
The selected window shows up on the current workspace and the selected border becomes unresponsive.
Switching workspaces still works and everything existing will be tiled properly. New windows do not get tiled.

Only way to fix is to stop and restart komorebi.

Expected behavior
Selecting the window takes you to the workspace it is on and the border doesn't become unresponsive.

Operating System

OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 10 Home
OS Version:                10.0.19045 N/A Build 19045

komorebic check Output

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\User

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\User

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\User\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

Additional context
N/A

It only seems to be breaking when using the context menu entry from Winaero Tweaker, since that calls cmd to run taskkill and then launch it.

Restaring Explorer through Task Manager or Process Hacker doesn't cause any breakage.

I don't actually understand any of the code in this module or how COM works 😅

https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/blob/b5eafc6b9678dd70ef0387f38fc52bc35014a615/komorebi/src/com/mod.rs#L1-L3

I'm guessing that these class registrations are tied to specific instances of explorer.exe. I'll leave this open if anyone wants to dig, but I guess the general guidance should be that if you restart explorer.exe, you should also restart komorebi.exe.

Only way to fix is to stop and restart komorebi.

Coming back to this after over half a year, I think that this is a reasonable thing to do if explorer.exe has been killed.
