Issue Description

Hello,

We've been using c# for desktop app tests. On windows 11 we run VSTest version 2.* with our test plans on self-hosted machines (azure agent version v2.181.2 and v2.210.1).

Sometimes there is a situation where VSTest task runs our tests like so. After a while node.exe cmd window shows up and blocks everything on machine. It completely covers all programs and our tests return false.

I've tried installing newer 2.* azure agent and opening run.cmd as service. The problems is that we use WinAppDriver and agent (as a service) cannot handle interactive desktop windows.

How to get rid of that window and why it appears sometimes and sometimes not - with the same configuration?
