### Electron Version

18.0.2

### What operating system are you using?

Windows

### Operating System Version

Windows 10 version 21H2

### What arch are you using?

x64

### Last Known Working Electron version

17.3.1

### Expected Behavior

`requestSingleInstanceLock()` should not cause crashes when using different versions of Electron.

### Actual Behavior

When an app is built with Electron 18, if it uses `requestSingleInstanceLock()` and an older version attempts to start, the v18 app crashes in the Main process.

To reproduce:

* Create an app that uses `requestSingleInstanceLock()`
* Build it for both v18 and v17 of Electron
* Start the v18 version and leave it running
* Start the v17 version

At this point (on Windows 10 at least) a crash will occur in the Main process of v18, likely leading to an unresponsive window.
