Random err:winediag:nulldrv_CreateWindow errors related to windows and explorer

I believe that since code freeze started (or maybe 1.7.55) a random
behavior was introduced related to these 2 messages:

err:winediag:nulldrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a
window, but no driver could be loaded.
err:winediag:nulldrv_CreateWindow The explorer process failed to start.

Sometimes together there is also:
err:ole:apartment_createwindowifneeded CreateWindow failed with error 0

I'm not seeing this alone. at November 23 there was a mention to it in
bug https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39384 and also in December
1 there was a mention at bug
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39057

The issue seems to manifest more when the computer is heavily loaded (cpu/ram).

I believe a regression test to be very hard since the issue is random, sorry.

Is anyone else affected by this? I'm still affected with today's git.

Best wishes,
Bruno
