How can I await an array of tasks and stop waiting on first exception?

Question

I have an array of tasks and I am awaiting them with Task.WhenAll. My tasks are failing frequently, in which case I inform the user with a message box so that she can try ag

I recently needed once again the WhenAllFailFast method, and I revised @ZaldronGG's excellent solution to make it a bit more performant (and more in line with Stephen Cleary's recommendations). The implementation below handles around 3,500,000 tasks per second in my PC.

public static Task WhenAllFailFast(params Task[] tasks)
{
    if (tasks is null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(tasks));
    if (tasks.Length == 0) return Task.FromResult(new TResult[0]);

    var results = new TResult[tasks.Length];
    var remaining = tasks.Length;
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource(
        TaskCreationOptions.RunContinuationsAsynchronously);

    for (int i = 0; i < tasks.Length; i++)
    {
        var task = tasks[i];
        if (task == null) throw new ArgumentException(
            $"The {nameof(tasks)} argument included a null value.", nameof(tasks));
        HandleCompletion(task, i);
    }
    return tcs.Task;

    async void HandleCompletion(Task task, int index)
    {
        try
        {
            var result = await task.ConfigureAwait(false);
            results[index] = result;
            if (Interlocked.Decrement(ref remaining) == 0)
            {
                tcs.TrySetResult(results);
            }
        }
        catch (OperationCanceledException)
        {
            tcs.TrySetCanceled();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            tcs.TrySetException(ex);
        }
    }
}
