Description
This PR disables the Windows snap assist feature on the Windows client in order to reduce complexity in RDP e2e automation. This is achieved by setting a registry value and restarting
explorer.exeto apply the change. A scheduled task is set up so that it runs on login of the desired user.The snap assist feature shows up after using the Windows snapping feature (moving windows to the edge to auto-fill a portion of the screen) in order to help select other windows to fill out the other parts of the screen.
RDP e2e automation plans to use Windows snapping to ensure some elements of the screen are not covered, but we don't want to have to worry about the Windows snap assist.
