DotNet error during connection after Windows 10 May 2020 Update

See original GitHub issue

bleak version: 0.7.1
Python version: 3.7.7
Operating System: Windows 10 Version 2004 (May 2020 Update)

Description

After Windows 10 May Update (version 2004), connection with ble peripheral returns a BleakDotNetTaskError during the ‘Get Services’ step. Therefore, (connecting, get services, service explorer) don’t work, but (discover) works fine.
The returned error is: ‘bleak.exc.BleakDotNetTaskError: System.Exception: Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))’.
Confirmed that the root cause occurs due to Windows 10 May update by doing a clean install of Windows 10 version 1909 (November 2019) where everything works perfectly.
Peripheral is Arduino nano 33 BLE device with a Nordic nRF52840 microprocessor.
On the peripheral side, the connection is established even though the central fails to connect.

What I Did

Run any example code that attempts to connect with the peripheral (all except discover.py).

File "myenv\lib\site-packages\bleak\backends\client.py", line 49, in __aenter__
    await self.connect()
  File "myenv\lib\site-packages\bleak\backends\dotnet\client.py", line 150, in connect
    services = await self.get_services()
  File "myenv\lib\site-packages\bleak\backends\dotnet\client.py", line 237, in get_services
    loop=self.loop,
  File "myenv\lib\site-packages\bleak\backends\dotnet\utils.py", line 73, in wrap_IAsyncOperation
    raise BleakDotNetTaskError(op.ErrorCode.ToString())
bleak.exc.BleakDotNetTaskError: System.Exception: Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
