Remote Desktop Client (mstsc.exe) causes loss of focus

The program steeling focus is C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe. This is the Windows Remote Desktop Connection app.

Seems there are quite a few threads about it on the web:

This one suggests it may be tied to how WSLg uses RDP:

And suggests this as the fix:
