After run, nothing has happened, only error in console

QWindowsContext: OleInitialize() failed: "COM error 0xffffffff80010106 RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE (Unknown error 0x080010106)"

Same here

I found a workaround here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51284268/windowscontext-oleinitialize-failed-com-error-0x80010106-rpc-e-changed-mode

It works for me.

I tried that work around and did not work for me. Windows 10, Python 3.7. In fact it bombs with:

python .\py_inspect.py
QWindowsContext: OleInitialize() failed:  "COM error 0xffffffff80010106 RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE (Unknown error 0x080010106)"
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return bool(self._element.CurrentIsEnabled)
_ctypes.COMError: (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', (None, None, None, 0, None))

Ironically, I run it in Eclipse + PyDev to see what's up, and it runs fine. Takes ages to start, but doesn't crash and I can use it. Go figure.

Good morning all, I did a pull request with the workaround from Stack Overflow -> #4
