WinAppDriver exited unexpectedly with code 3221225781. Any solution?

I am trying to automate window calculator app to start desktop application testing using appium.
I am using the sample code giving on github. But facing some issue.
Appium server version is 1.7.2

Appium logs:

My appium script is:

        CalculatorSession = new WindowsDriver<WebElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub/"), capabilities);
        CalculatorSession.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        CalculatorResult = CalculatorSession.findElementByAccessibilityId("CalculatorResults");
        Assert.assertNotNull(CalculatorResult);

    }catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
    }
}

@Test

    CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Nine").click();

    CalculatorSession.findElementByName("One").click();
    CalculatorSession.findElementByName("Equals").click();
    Assert.assertEquals("8", _GetCalculatorResultText());
}

protected String _GetCalculatorResultText()
{
    // trim extra text and whitespace off of the display value
    return CalculatorResult.getText().replace("Display is", "").trim();
}

@AfterClass
public static void TearDown()
{
    CalculatorResult = null;
    if (CalculatorSession != null) {
        CalculatorSession.quit();
    }
    CalculatorSession = null;
}

}

Please help me resolve this issue.

@Aleksei I was trying to automate the window desktop app on windows 7 but after a lot of research i searched the prerequisite for automating a window application, then i came to know that minimum windows 10 should be used. I will try it on windows 10 and then share my scenario.

Thanks!

I can confirm this behavior on Windows 10 when running the calculator sample test. Log follows:
