Summary of the issue:
In Windows 10 RS5, The Task switcher was re-written in XAML. Therefore this means ATs lost the ability to match on a particular window class in order to suppress reporting of the switch items' ancestry, thereby causing the switcher to be way too verbose.
Microsoft however did add a UIA automation ID to the switcher list for this purpose.
Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:
Also look for the new UIA automation ID on the switcher list when choosing to use our task switcher item functionality.
Testing performed:
Alt+tabbed around Windows with multiple apps open. Confirmed that only the app names were announced, rather than the task switching window itself also. Also confirmed that pressing windows+tab still correctly announced the task switch window as it should.
If someone could test on rs4 this would be great.
Known issues with pull request:
None.
