Configure H.265/HEVC hardware encoding for Remote Desktop Connections

This policy setting lets you enable HEVC hardware encoding support for Remote Desktop Connections. When you enable HEVC, this policy will supersede the Configure H.264/AVC hardware encoding for Remote Desktop Connections GP. When you enable HEVC, if an error occurs, we will attempt to use AVC software encoding. If you disable or do not configure this policy, HEVC will not be leveraged.
