Enable enhanced shell experience for RemoteApp
This policy setting enables an enhanced shell experience for RemoteApp sessions, offering support for default file associations, Run/RunOnce registry keys, and more. This policy setting applies only to RemoteApp sessions and does not apply to Remote Desktop sessions. If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, RemoteApp sessions on RD Session Host servers will have the enhanced shell experience. If you disable this policy setting, RemoteApp sessions will not have the enhanced shell experience and will use the legacy shell behavior. This may be needed if compatibility issues arise in published RemoteApp programs.
