I am using FileOpenPicker to select the file for that i am initializing with the mainwindow handle by using this API WinRT.Interop.InitializeWithWindow.Initialize
but after closing the FileOpenPicker the mainwindow got freezes to retrieve the normal state I need to move the mouse in to the tittle bar of my application or taskbar.

What I have tried:

 var parentWindow = FindWindow(null,"MyAppTittle");
 var openPicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker();
                openPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".jpg");
                openPicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".bmp")
 WinRT.Interop.InitializeWithWindow.Initialize(openPicker, parentWindow); //Initilaize 
StorageFile imageFile = await openPicker.PickSingleFileAsync();
if (imageFile == null) return;

you have to handle few threads. MTA
the main window thread is too busy, then it freeze.
it's a 'busy state' of your main Windows, not a bug.

threads are 'processing units'
they could be STA or MTA ( Single Thread .. or Mulitple Thread built )

any App is loaded into a Thread.
to empower your Apps, you can use more than one Thread.

Thread can be created , used, and destroy and are dedicated to execute codes aside the Main Thread.

Nothing to do with the question. Did you get this answer from ChatGPT?

You're mixing Windows RT and WPF. You have a hack that is apparently "just working" (async interop). Stick to what is "typical".
