Checks

• [x] I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

• [ ] I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

Flow Launcher, it appears to be triggering hundreds of events in rapid succession. This can overwhelm other applications that listen for these events, causing them to crash or become unresponsive.

Example of what Flow Launcher sends and I wonder what the reason for this is

Also this is not just from settings page, but also from search https://github.com/amnweb/yasb/issues/375

I search a little bit seems like whenever we trigger a property changed event (which is how wpf handle responsiveness), a win object change events may be triggered. Also this can be due to the fact that there are a couple previous efforts to support accessibility, which requires these events. Although I do agree these seems to be too much and let's see whether we can fix some.

I think fixing this might also fix another issue #2129 (laggy settings window)
