Bug: App crashes when opening two folders at the same time

Description

Occurs whenever I try to open two folders at almost the same time using a script (AHK) or Run. The app would sometimes immediately crash after the notification.

I’m planning to create a script where it opens specific folders when a shortcut key is triggered but I’m encountering these two errors: 0x800706BA & 0x800706BE

The lowest delay I could set before executing the 2nd folder was 1.5 seconds.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set Files as default file manager
2. Open the Run dialog (Win+R)
3. Type in C:\ and press enter
4. Quickly open the run dialog box and press enter again
5. See that the second path isn’t opened in Files

Steps to fix

• Fix the crash and open the second path as expected

Could you check if this issue is fixed in Files v2.3.62? #10575 might have helped.

using v2.3.63, the RPC thing is now gone and I can now run paths from a command line. However, sometimes I encounter these two errors:

Both errors will not crash the app and only some of the folders are opened. My current workaround is to just add a delay before executing the subsequent folders.
