Expected Behavior

Setting a background material on a window should not cause any adverse affects. In a VM or machine without a real GPU, the material should fall back to being opaque as it does in other apps.

Actual Behavior

Setting a background material in an Azure VM accessed over RDP makes the window blank and unusable.

Additional Information

Disabling hardware acceleration is a workaround, but it should not be necessary as native apps with Mica fall back gracefully in this scenario.

The GPUs reported in the VM are "Microsoft Hyper-V Video" and "Microsoft Remote Display Adapter"
