We may want to disable clipboard redirection on the new Azure Windows 10 2004 workers to fix clipboard related intermittent failures.

We've been looking into; and posting here for reference:

Rob, a couple questions. Did you encounter a similar issue in AWS, and if so how did you address it? Task wise do you know if there is a way to run powershell with elevated privileged in mozharness?

:masterwayz, could you add details on what you have tried in mozharness?

I just updated https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D122133 with what I have now. The commented out section in desktop_unittest.py was my first attempt but the win_unittest.py seems a bit more successful though still fails.

This should be fixed in new images that mcornmesser is creating after jmaher and me spend time in a VM of mine figuring out where the issue is. Turns out, there's a user clipboard service that was causing this.
