Keep the completion refresh's Recycle Bin query off the UI thread.

The completion callback dispatches to the UI thread and calls UpdateState() there. UpdateState() calls RecycleBinHelper.GetRecycleBinInfo() synchronously, which runs SHQueryRecycleBin(null, ...) on the UI thread. The startup-failure branch also calls UpdateState() on the UI thread.

A large Recycle Bin can make this query slow. One third-party report on Windows 10.0.26100 measured about 7.5 seconds for 3,378 items. The viewer can freeze for that duration if the helper exits while items remain in the bin.

Run UpdateState() on the worker thread. It already dispatches its control updates, so the worker can call it directly. Dispatch the button re-enable separately so a query failure cannot leave the button disabled.

Suggested fix

             {

+                {
+                    // Query on the worker thread; UpdateState dispatches the control updates.
+                    UpdateState();
+                }
+                catch (Exception ex)

Review comment at @QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.CLSIDViewer/RecycleBinPanel.xaml.cs at line 149:
Update the completion callback and startup-failure path to run UpdateState off the UI thread, since it performs the synchronous Recycle Bin query. Keep UpdateState’s control updates dispatched to the UI thread, and dispatch re-enabling emptyButton separately so a query failure cannot leave it disabled.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
