SystemEvents.SessionSwitch Crashes in Windows 8 but works in Windows 10

Question

I am developing a WPF App and getting a very weird problem:

I use SystemEvents.SessionSwitch += SystemEvents_SessionSwitch; to detect the screen lock event of the computer. The code works well in Windows 10. But crashes in Windows 8. The error window I got was "You App has stopped working" without any exception code. I tried it on other Windows 10 and other Windows 8 and got the same results. Any ideas?

what doesn't work? do you get an error message? please post more details. — magicandre1981, Mar 30 '17 at 15:21
It still crashed without any error code. But I've fixed it by downloading a NVIDIA Drive. — randomcat, Mar 30 '17 at 16:39

I'm not sure why someone downvoted this question. Anyway, I've fixed the problem by installing 341.61-quadro-grid-desktop-notebook-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe on windows 8.
