Need help with background worker process called from parallel.foreach

I want to process a list of users and update a progress bar as each item s processed.

My implementation is wrong though because I receive an error :
"Cross-Thread operation not valid"

I have been directed to the link below and folowed its implementation but I am unable to circumvent the error.

I have googled a bit and tried a few different strategies but my latest iteration is receiving the same error I received before implementing background worker processes.

The method backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted is generating the exception.

I appreciate your time.

//Parallel Snippet 
cancelToken = new CancellationTokenSource();
ParallelOptions parOpts = new ParallelOptions();
parOpts.CancellationToken = cancelToken.Token;
parOpts.MaxDegreeOfParallelism =  System.Environment.ProcessorCount;

try
                    {
                        Parallel.ForEach(userIDList, parOpts, user =>
                            {
                                parOpts.CancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
                                _operator.formatEmail(emailFormat, txtEmailDomain.Text, user);
                                UpdateProgress(); //call background processes
                            });
                    }
                    catch (OperationCanceledException ex)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("Cancellation in progress: " + ex.Message);
                    }
                    catch (OperationAbortedException ex)
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("Process aborted. " + ex.Message);
                    }

//create background process
private void UpdateProgress(){
            backgroundWorker1 = new BackgroundWorker();
            backgroundWorker1.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
            backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted += backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted; 

            this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();
        }


 private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(
            object sender,
            RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            
            Interlocked.Increment(ref progressCounter);  //Thread safe increment
            this.pgbarApplyChanges.Value = (progressCounter); //this throws the exception.
            this.lblProgress.Text = (((progressCounter / userIDList.Count()) * 100).ToString() + " % Complete");
            if (progressCounter == userIDList.Count)
            {
                btnFinish.Visible = true;
                Form1.ActiveForm.Refresh();
            }
        }
