WinAppDriver does not work with WPF/WinForms applications

See original GitHub issue

DesiredCapabilities appCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); appCapabilities.SetCapability("app", @"C:\myWPFApp.exe"); NotepadSession = new IOSDriver<IOSElement>(new Uri(AppDriverUrl), appCapabilities);

On the third line it starts my app and just hangs. But with Native Win32/UWP applications driver creates correctly and quickly.

Is there a way to prevent driver from hanging when starting WPF/WinForm applications?
