Enable screen capture protection

This policy setting allows you to specify whether protection against screen capture is enabled for a remote session across client and server. If you enable this policy setting to block screen capture on client, the RD Session Host Server will instruct the client to enable the screen capture protection for a remote session. If a compatible client is used, it will prevent screen capture of the applications running in the remote session. If you enable this policy setting to block screen capture on client and server, it will block on the client as described above in addition to instructing the session host to prevent tools and services within the session host from capturing the screen. This option requires the session host to be OS version Windows 11, version 22H2 or later. If the client is not compatible with screen capture protection, the connection will be denied. If you disable or not configure this policy setting, the screen capture protection will be disabled.
